Bagster vs. Junk King in Tarrant County: Which to Choose and Why You have a lot of options when it comes to getting rid of the excess junk that you have laying around your home or business. For starters, you could schedule a bulky item pickup with your local waste management company. Unfortunately, waiting on the garbage company to come and pick up your junk can often turn into a week-long affair. For example, in the city of Fort Worth, you have to haul your bulky items out to the curb by 7 AM on the Monday of your assigned week for bulky item pickup. The city waste management crews have until the following Saturday at 5 p.m. to pick up those bulky items. This means that you may have huge piles of garbage bags, old furniture and appliances, and other junk items “decorating” the front of your residential or commercial property for up to a week. Not only is this a great way to anger your neighbors, but you might be risking a fine from your local Homeowner´s Association (HOA). Another option for homeowners, business owners, and other residents in Tarrant County, TX is to purchase a Bagster from Home Depot, Wal-Mart or similar home improvement stores, fill up the bag, and then schedule a Bagster pickup from the company Waste Management (WM). Though the Bagster option has been gaining in popularity in recent years, many people don’t never take the time to read the “fine print” when it comes to using Bagster´s service. In this short article, we take a quick look at how Bagster works, and then explain some of those fine print items that need to be taken into consideration when deciding between Bagster and more traditional junk removal services. Finally, we explain why Junk King of Tarrant County is the best option for people in Tarrant County looking for the most efficient and environmentally responsible junk removal service. Some of the “Fine Print Items” with Bagster´s Terms and Conditions to Take into Consideration You will have the complete responsibility to fill the bag with the junk contents: For people with long driveways, this means hauling heavy junk items to within 16 feet of the curb where the Waste Management truck can easily pick up the Bagster. If you try and cut corners by filling the bag up near your home and then pulling it out to the driveway, you also risk a fine from WM. The company states that “dragging your Bagster bag can cause damage and weaken the Bagster bag. If your Bagster bag is damaged, WM may not be able to collect your Bagster bag and additional fees will apply.” The Bagster prohibits several items from being thrown away in the bag: Most junk removal companies are unable to haul away items classified as toxic waste. However, with the Bagster you also are not allowed to throw away common junk items such as fluorescent light bulbs or ballasts, appliances, electronics, and food waste. For heavy items, you can only fill the bag 1/3 full: If you plan on throwing away heavy construction debris such as bricks, stones, dirt, or other similar items, you can only fill the Bagster 1/3 full, even though you will be paying for the whole bag. Over filling the bag will result in extra fees, or the company may not even pick up the items. Bagster bags only allow you to throw away up to 3 cubic yards of junk: When you use Bagster, it is important to note that bag only has a capacity of 2’6” H x 4’W x 8’ long, and a weight limit of 3,300 lbs. If you have more junk than this, you will unfortunately have to purchase ANOTHER bag and pay for a second junk removal service.
