1. Buy a Jumbo Bag
The first step is estimating how much waste you will need to dispose of; this ensures you order the right number of bags and makes collection quick and hassle-free. Each jumbo bag can hold up to 1 tonne of waste, making them perfect for everything from small domestic clear-outs to larger landscaping or renovation projects.
For green waste like grass cuttings, leaves and small branches, one bag is usually enough for the average garden. Tackling a bigger area or denser vegetation? Consider ordering a few extra bags to cover the extra volume.
When it comes to mixed waste, soil, rubble, furniture or building materials, ordering at least two bags is a good idea. This gives you flexibility and ensures you will not run out of space.
To make things even smoother (and more eco-friendly), try sorting your waste by type into separate bags: green waste, rubble, or general household items. This speeds up collection and makes recycling much easier.
And a little tip: keep one or two spare bags on hand; you never know when your project might produce a little extra waste.
A little planning goes a long way. By staying organised, you will enjoy a stress-free, seamless waste removal experience from start to finish.
2. Fill your Jumbo Bag
Follow these simple steps to make every collection easy, safe and stress-free:
1. Set Up Your Bag
Unfold your jumbo bag fully and fold down the sides to create a wide, stable opening. This keeps the bag upright and makes loading waste much easier.
2. Start Loading
Fill the bag with your waste, gently compacting as you go to make the most of the 1 tonne capacity, but avoid overfilling. Keeping the load level ensures safe collection.
3. Pick the Right Spot
Place your bag somewhere easily accessible for our collection lorries; your driveway, front garden or another open space near the road works best. Choosing the right spot from the start saves unnecessary moving later.
4. Do Not Move a Filled Bag
Once you start filling, avoid lifting or relocating the bag. Even a partially filled bag can be heavy and awkward, which could cause injury or damage. Always pick your final placement before you begin loading.
By following these straightforward steps, you will help make every collection safe, efficient and hassle-free, for both you and our team!

Things to Consider
- Place your filled bag in a clear, accessible spot for easy collection.
- The bag should be within 4 metres (13 feet) of a public road.
- Ensure the roadway is at least 3 metres (10 feet) wide so our collection lorry can reach the bag safely.
- Keep the area free of obstructions, including overhead wires, parked cars, trees or other obstacles.

Our Economic Promise
All waste collected through our Jumbo Bag Away Service is handled responsibly and recycled according to its type. For example, green waste is delivered to Eco Sustainable Solutions, a leading local recycling facility. There, it goes through a careful composting and screening process, turning garden clippings, leaves and small branches into high-quality compost and nutrient-rich soil, perfect for supporting healthy gardens.
By recycling and repurposing organic materials, we help reduce landfill waste and promote sustainable gardening and landscaping practices. Whether it is green waste, rubble, soil or general debris, you can have confidence that your waste is being managed with care for the environment.
Choosing our service means your project not only stays clean and organised, but also contributes to a greener, more sustainable future.
