If you’re considering Bagster, it’s likely that you need junk hauling or debris removal services but don’t want to hire a typical company that comes to your property in an obvious truck or van. You might be looking to reduce the hassle of hauling your trash yourself and trying to fit it into your car, SUV, or minivan along with everything else you’re transporting on your way to work, school, or home.
Debris Hauling Made Easy
Debris hauling can be a hassle for any business or homeowner. Unless you live in a larger city, where there are junk removal specialists available, hiring someone to remove debris from your home or business can cost a lot of money. Bagster is making debris removal simple by offering affordable alternatives to traditional trash bags. With Bagster, homeowners and businesses can haul away junk quickly and easily while reducing their costs on disposal fees significantly. These days, many cities offer curbside pick-up programs but some waste management firms charge exorbitant rates for even small items.
Bagster
The concept of the Bagster™ is like having a 3 cubic yard mini-dumpster, but is that solution for debris hauling right for you?
Bagsters require time and effort on your end. You purchase the Bagster at a retail store like Home Depot. You must fill the big green bag using your labor and ensure that the bag is within 16 feet of the curb so the waste hauler can reach the bag with its mechanical lift. On average, you ought to budget at least three hours to acquire and fill the bag. The Bagster hauler may charge extra or refuse to haul if you overfill the bag. If you have stone, concrete, or dirt, you can fill only 1/3rd of the bag. No item can exceed 4 feet in length.
The Bagster costs $30 for the bag and you pay another $79 to $249 for the pick-up (average $140) for the hauling. That comes to $60 per cubic yard. You pay the whole $180 whether the bag is full or not.
How A Junk King Dumpster Rental Is Better Than Bagster
With more than 30 years of experience behind them, Junk King is one of America’s top junk removal companies. They have handled thousands of different jobs—everything from garage cleanouts to construction debris and furniture removal.
Junk King has alternatives that provide better flexibility and better pricing. We have 18 cubic yard trucks with crews to provide the labor. We discount for pre-staged debris, essential what a Bagster becomes. Our pre-staged rate for the Bagster’s 3-cubic yard volume of construction debris is $90. That’s about half the cost of a Bagster.
Junk King also has 12-cubic yard dumpsters for rent. Our dumpster would hold 4 Bagsters. These dumpsters are perfect for DIY projects and small renovations. The graphite wheels make the dumpster’s driveway friendly. The cost is $298 for the dumpster and includes the first ton — normal weight for 12 cubic yards of construction debris. To get the same volume of Bagsters you pay up to $685. Again, our solution is more flexible and costs about half the cost of the Bagster solution.
Here are just a few reasons why our services are better than Bagster ’s:
24/7 Scheduling
Junk King knows that you may need your items removed at any time during the day or night, which is why they offer 24-hour online booking services. That means you don’t have to rearrange your schedule in order to meet with them, as they come when it best suits you.
Professionalism
On each job that they handle, Junk King employees work quickly and carefully so as not to disrupt any home or business while they’re onsite. Their trucks also contain safety equipment such as straps, ramps and wedges to keep everything safe and secure throughout transport.
Value
When you compare Bagster ’s pricing to that of Junk King Fairfax, what might seem like comparable prices, however, things can quickly become much more expensive for Bagster customers with you dig deeper. For example, in addition to costing more money per cubic yard of junk removed, Bagster doesn’t provide any discounts for volume pricing or additional jobs. You always pay their full fees for every job.
Insurance Coverage
If anything happens to your vehicle or property during transportation due to fault from one of their workers or subcontractors, Bagster will cover all damages; however, if damage occurs due to negligence from one of their staff members, then you could be held responsible for paying out-of-pocket expenses. Junk King is fully licensed, bonded, and insured so you always have nothing to worry about.
Flexibility
When you want to schedule your junk removal job, Junk King gives you three delivery options. You can choose when they come to pick up your items: same day, next day, or on a weekend. Junk King also offers a number of flexible payment options based on how much stuff needs to be removed.
Hauling & Tipping Fees
Bagster charges you a standard rate of $60 per cubic yard to haul your junk, regardless of how much waste that equates to. The company also offers an additional service where they dump your debris at no extra charge. When you add it all up, Junk King is one of America’s most affordable junk removal companies when it comes to pricing!
Appliance Removal
While Bagster does give you the ability to remove a lot of your junk, it won’t cover things like old or broken appliances. Junk King has appliance removal services that can make them more cost-effective overall. Not only that, Junk King will do all of the heavy lifting for you. You don’t have to worry about hurting yourself trying to MacGyver an old appliance into a Bagster.
Environmentally Conscious
Unlike most junk removal solutions, including the DIY approach of loading a truck and taking it to a landfill, Junk King has the environment in mind with everything we do. We will go through every item we collect and break down the components and materials and recycle whatever we can to help reduce the impact your junk has on the environment. It is a win-win situation for you and the environment!
