What is a Jumbo Bag?

Our jumbo bags are strong and durable bags that can hold up to 1 tonne of debris. They can be purchased online here or at our Bournemouth, Ferndown, or Dorchester stores.

How does our Jumbo Bag Away work?

1. Buy a Jumbo Bag

The first step in arranging your Jumbo Bag Away Service is to estimate how much waste you’ll be disposing of. This helps you order the right number of bags and ensures a smooth, efficient collection. Each jumbo bag holds up to 1 tonne of waste, making them ideal for both small domestic clear-outs and larger landscaping or renovation projects.

For green waste such as grass cuttings, leaves, and small branches, one jumbo bag is typically enough for the average garden. However, if you’re tackling a larger area or dealing with denser vegetation, we recommend ordering additional bags to accommodate the extra volume.

When disposing of mixed waste—including soil, rubble, furniture, or building materials—it’s best to order at least two bags. This provides flexibility for varying materials and ensures you have plenty of space for everything.

To make the process more efficient and eco-friendlier, try sorting your waste by type into separate bags (for example: green waste, rubble, or general household items). This helps speed up collection and makes recycling easier.

Finally, it’s always wise to have one or two spare bags ready—just in case your project produces more waste than expected.

By planning ahead and staying organised, you’ll enjoy a seamless, stress-free waste removal experience from start to finish.

2. Fill your Jumbo Bag

Follow these simple steps to ensure a smooth, safe, and hassle-free collection every time:

• Set Up Your Bag

Unfold your jumbo bag completely and fold down the sides to create a wide, stable opening. This helps the bag stay upright and makes loading your waste much easier.

• Start Loading

Begin filling the bag with your garden waste, such as grass clippings, leaves, and small branches. Gently compact the contents as you go to maximise the 1-tonne capacity—but be careful not to overfill. Keeping the load level ensures safe collection.

• Pick the Right Spot

Place the bag in an easily accessible location for our collection lorries—ideally your front garden, driveway, or another open space near the road. Choosing the right spot from the start saves you from needing to move it later.

• Don’t Move a Filled Bag

Once you begin filling your bag, avoid lifting or relocating it. Even a partially filled bag can be extremely heavy and awkward to move, increasing the risk of damage or injury. Always choose your final placement before loading begins.

By following these straightforward steps, you’ll help ensure a safe, efficient, and stress-free collection process—for both you and our team!

Things to Consider

• Roadway must be a minimum of 3 metres (10 feet) wide to enable the collection lorry to gain acces to the bag

Our Economic Promise

All waste collected through our Jumbo Bag Away Service is responsibly processed and recycled according to its type. For example, green waste is taken to Eco Sustainable Solutions, a leading local recycling facility. There, it undergoes a careful composting and screening process, transforming garden waste into high-quality compost and nutrient-rich soil.

By ensuring that organic materials are recycled and repurposed, we help reduce landfill waste and support sustainable gardening and landscaping practices—so you can feel confident that your waste is being handled with the environment in mind.
