Bagster vs Junk Removal in Bremerton: Which Saves More?

The Bagster (by Waste Management) is a collapsible dumpster bag you buy at a hardware store and fill yourself. It seems convenient, but how does it actually compare to junk removal in Bremerton?

How the Bagster Works

1. Buy the bag at a hardware store
2. Place it on your driveway
3. Fill it yourself (3 cubic yards max)
4. Schedule a pickup through Waste Management
5. Pay for the pickup separately

Bagster Costs

• Bag purchase: available at hardware stores
• Collection fee: varies significantly by location — Kitsap County rates may differ
• Weight limit: 3,300 lbs max
• Size: 8 ft x 4 ft x 2.5 ft (about 3 cubic yards)

Junk Removal Costs

Side-by-Side Comparison

Convenience

• Bagster: You buy it, set it up, fill it yourself, then wait for pickup
• Junk Removal: You call, the crew shows up and does everything

Capacity

• Bagster: 3 cubic yards max, 3,300 lb weight limit
• Junk Removal: A full truck holds approximately 12–15 cubic yards — 4–5x more

Timeline

• Bagster: Buy bag → fill over days → schedule pickup → wait 1–5 business days
• Junk Removal: Call → done the same day

Physical Effort

• Bagster: You do all the lifting and loading
• Junk Removal: Zero effort from you

The Verdict

The Bagster makes sense for very small, lightweight jobs where you have time to fill it yourself. For anything more than a few bags of debris, professional junk removal is faster, easier, and often the same price or less.
