Storage & Rubble Sacks

About Storage & Rubble Sacks

Storage and rubble sacks are essential heavy-duty bags designed to handle construction waste, garden refuse, and bulk materials on building sites and renovation projects. MyToolShed.co.uk supplies a comprehensive range of rubble sacks from trusted brands including Faithfull and Draper, offering options from standard black rubble sacks to heavy-duty woven bulk bags with capacities up to 1 tonne.

Whether you're clearing out construction debris, transporting aggregates, or organising materials on site, the right rubble sack makes waste management efficient and cost-effective. MyToolShed stocks various specifications including standard polypropylene rubble sacks for everyday use, heavy-duty blue sacks for demanding applications, and large-scale woven bulk bags for commercial projects requiring maximum capacity and strength.

Applications

Storage and rubble sacks are used across numerous trades and applications:

• Construction and demolition: Removing bricks, concrete, plaster, and building waste
• Landscaping and groundwork: Transporting soil, sand, gravel, and garden waste
• Renovation projects: Clearing out old fixtures, tiles, and general building rubble
• Roofing contractors: Disposing of old tiles, felt, and roofing debris
• Skip hire and waste management: Organising waste before collection
• Groundworkers and civil engineers: Moving aggregates and bulk materials
• DIY enthusiasts: Home improvement and garden clearance projects

Choosing The Right Storage & Rubble Sacks

Selecting appropriate rubble sacks depends on several key factors:

Capacity and size: Standard rubble sacks typically hold 40-60 litres, suitable for general waste, whilst bulk woven bags can accommodate up to 1 tonne of material for larger commercial operations.

Material strength: Heavy-duty woven polypropylene sacks offer superior tear resistance for sharp materials like broken bricks and glass, whereas standard polypropylene bags suit lighter applications such as plasterboard and insulation waste.

Load type: Consider what you're carrying—sharp rubble and masonry require reinforced heavy-duty sacks, whilst soil and aggregates work well in bulk woven bags with UV protection for outdoor storage.

Handling and closure: Look for features like reinforced seams for manual handling and consider accessories such as sack tie twisters available from MyToolShed.co.uk for secure closure and easy transportation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between standard and heavy-duty rubble sacks?

Heavy-duty rubble sacks are manufactured from thicker, reinforced polypropylene material with stronger seams, making them suitable for sharp, abrasive materials like broken bricks and concrete. Standard rubble sacks work well for lighter waste such as packaging, insulation, and non-sharp building materials.

How much weight can a rubble sack hold?

Standard rubble sacks typically hold 20-25kg safely, whilst heavy-duty versions can handle 30-40kg. Woven bulk bags are designed for up to 1 tonne of material. Always check the manufacturer's specifications and avoid overfilling to prevent splitting.

Can rubble sacks be reused?

Woven bulk bags can often be reused multiple times if undamaged and properly stored. Standard polypropylene rubble sacks are typically single-use, though they may withstand reuse with lighter, non-sharp materials if they remain intact after initial use.
