Dumpster bags, picked up by crane
The Eco Waste Dumpster Bag is $29, holds 4 cubic yards (7′ long × 4′ wide × 4′ high) and up to one ton. Fill it at your own pace. When it’s full, our crane truck picks it up: $279 for up to 2,000 lb, with anything over billed at $135 per ton from an on-site scale reading you see first.
Two or three bags? Put them on one pickup.
The first bag’s pickup is $279. Every other bag we pick up on that same pickup is $179, so bags 2 and 3 cost $100 less to pick up than they would on their own. With the bags, that’s $516 for two and $724 for three, all in.
- Free bag delivery south of the 55 and west of the 241.
- Available only in cities within Orange County, California.
- If your bag is within the 2,000 lb limit, no extra charges apply.

The bag
Jobs a bag handles well
- Home renovations and remodels
- Garage or attic clean-outs
- Roofing and shingle removal
- Concrete, stonework and landscaping
- Bathroom remodels
A bag sits in a 7 by 4-foot spot and you fill it at your own pace, so there’s no steel bin on the driveway. Where it can sit for the crane depends on your site; call or text us with the address and we’ll tell you.

What a bag job looks like.
New bags arrive folded. They sit on a lawn, a driveway or the job site while you fill them, and the crane truck lifts them out when they're full.

What fits
Weight fills a bag before space does
A bag stops at 4 cubic yards or one ton, whichever comes first. Heavy material fills the weight limit long before the bag looks full: one ton is roughly half a cubic yard of solid concrete (about 150 lb per cubic foot).
| Material | One bag holds | Limit hit first | lb per loose yd³ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mixed remodel / construction debris | 4.00 yd³ | 4 yd³ | 484 |
| Asphalt shingles (composition roofing) | 2.74 yd³ | 1 ton | 731 |
| Drywall / gypsum board (broken) | 4.00 yd³ | 4 yd³ | 467 |
| Lumber / wood (framing, decking, fencing) | 4.00 yd³ | 4 yd³ | 169 |
| Mixed yard waste, loose | 4.00 yd³ | 4 yd³ | 250 |
| Branches, brush and stumps | 4.00 yd³ | 4 yd³ | 127 |
| Dirt / soil, dry | 0.91 yd³ | 1 ton | 2,200 |
| Concrete, broken | 0.83 yd³ | 1 ton | 2,400 |
Weights per loose cubic yard are the published figures our debris weight calculator uses (U.S. EPA; City of San Diego for broken concrete; U.S. Army FM 5-434 for dirt).
Bag or dumpster?
When a bag wins, and when a bin does
| Option | All in | Holds | Tons incl. |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 bag | $308 | 4 yd³ | 1 |
| 2 bags, 1 pickup | $516 | 8 yd³ | 2 |
| 3 bags, 1 pickup | $724 | 12 yd³ | 3 |
| 12-yard roll-off | $650 | 12 yd³ | 3 |
Bags win for one or two bags’ worth, and wherever a bin won’t fit or you don’t want one sitting on the driveway for two weeks. Two bags on one pickup are $134 less than the 12-yard.
At three bags’ worth, the 12-yard is $74 cheaper if you have room for it: it holds the same 12 cubic yards and 3 tons. For up to 3 tons of concrete or dirt, three bags ($724) still cost less than our $775 fill-line bin; past that, the bin wins easily.
FAQ
Dumpster bag questions
Do homeowners pay different prices?
No. Homeowners get the same bags at the same prices: $29 a bag, $279 for the first pickup and $179 for each extra bag on the same pickup ($516 for two, $724 for three, all in). A bag and a one-bag pickup can be paid online at checkout.
What is a dumpster bag and how much is it?
The Eco Waste Dumpster Bag is $29. It holds 4 cubic yards (7' × 4' × 4') and up to one ton, and ships free south of the 55 and west of the 241. Fill it at your own pace. When it's full, our crane truck picks it up: $279 for the first bag, up to 2,000 lb, and $179 for each additional bag on the same pickup. Over one ton a bag is $135 per ton, from a scale reading you see on site before any extra charge.
Is a second bag cheaper?
Yes, when it's picked up with the first one. The first bag's pickup is $279; every additional bag on that same pickup is $179, which is $100 less. With the $29 bags, two bags are $516 all in ($258 a bag) and three are $724 (about $241 a bag). One pickup takes up to 3 bags; a 4th bag goes on another pickup, which starts again at $279.
How many dumpster bags fit on one pickup?
Up to 3. All in, one bag is $308, two are $516 and three are $724. More bags go on another pickup, which starts again at $279 for its first bag: five bags are a three-bag pickup and a two-bag pickup, $724 + $516 = $1,240.
Do I have to fill all my bags before pickup?
No, but only bags that go on the same pickup get the $179 rate. A bag picked up on a different day is its own $279 pickup. If you're filling more than one, book one pickup for up to 3 of them when they're ready, or call or text and we'll plan it with you.
Is a dumpster bag cheaper than a roll-off dumpster?
For one or two bags' worth, yes: one bag is $308 and two on one pickup are $516, against $650 for our 12-yard roll-off. At three bags ($724, 12 cubic yards, 3 tons) the 12-yard holds the same and is $74 cheaper if you have room for it. A bag also leaves no steel bin on your driveway for two weeks.
How do I pay?
Invoices are due on receipt, unless other arrangements have been made. We accept major credit cards, Zelle and checks. Card payments carry a 3% processing fee. A bag and a single-bag pickup can also be paid online at checkout.
