Ah. You can buy Hippo bags in B&Q where when you fill it with rubbish you give them a call and they come and collect it and take it to the tip. You pay for it up front at B&Q and get the phone number for pickup. Keep as long as you like and call when ready.

I have a few of the bags from delivered rubble, sand and gravel, they are really handy.

One of the places I get my fire wood from has giant bags for sawdust every now and again one frays or splits and is put in the skip.

I simply cut out the damaged panel run a lighter along the edge and bingo a large waterproof white tarp useful for so many things.

Yes, I've heard of that service from them,...I probably used that phrase just to describe that size of bag, I don't know what the builders yards etc actually call the bag that they deliver sand in etc and I'm amazed that they didn't say anything about wanting it back.

That is what I understood when you explained how you used them. We call them builders bags but there is probably a proper name for them. Study bags that can be used for many things. I have a few now.

they call them Dumpy Bags down here.
