Efficient and responsible waste management is more important than ever. However, finding the right waste disposal method can be challenging, whether tackling a home renovation, clearing out the garden, or just getting some decluttering done.
Fortunately, Gorilla Bags swoop in to save the day, but what are they? Below, we’ll break down these bags as flexible solutions for waste management, what can and can’t go in them, and why they offer a great alternative to traditional skip bins for homeowners and businesses.
Gorilla Bags are made from heavy-duty, durable materials and can handle several waste types while remaining easy to store and transport. They’re ideal for anything from household cleanups to larger renovation projects.
Traditional skip bins require a sizable space, typically placed on a driveway or road, whereas Gorilla Bags offer much greater flexibility. They’re easy to position in tighter spaces, such as gardens or side alleys, making them suitable for properties with limited access. Once filled, our team will collect your bag at your convenience, allowing you to work at your own pace without the pressure to fill it within a short rental period.
To use a Gorilla Bag, simply unfold it, place it in your chosen location, and start filling it up with waste. Once full, book a collection and we’ll do the rest. It will take between 3 to 7 days to get the bag removed.
Gorilla Bags are a practical solution for streamlining waste management without dealing with a bulky skip, whether you’re looking to clear the basement or trim the back garden.
Gorilla Bags are ideal for clearing out general household clutter. Toss in old furniture like chairs, tables, sofas, and other miscellaneous household items, such as toys, books, clothing, and similar items. Smaller appliances like toasters and kettles are also acceptable, making them a convenient decluttering solution. Even non-hazardous cleaning products, like empty bottles and packaging, can be disposed of hassle-free.
Gorilla Bags can easily handle garden waste when tackling a garden cleanup. Grass clippings, leaves, branches, and weeds are all welcome, making it easy to keep your outdoor space tidy. They’re a great option for seasonal backyard maintenance or larger landscaping projects.
Gorilla Bags offer a practical solution for renovations and construction projects. You can safely dispose of wood offcuts, plasterboard, some leftovers of tiles, ceramics, and even small amounts of brick and concrete. You can even throw in metal scraps and non-hazardous building materials, ensuring your work site remains clean and organised throughout the project.
Hazardous and chemical waste, including paints, solvents, oils, and any other hazardous substances, are strictly prohibited from being disposed of in a Gorilla Bag due to potential health and environmental risks. Asbestos, a particularly dangerous material, must be handled separately by specialised services. Additionally, medical waste such as syringes, bandages, and other biohazardous items, as well as explosives like fireworks and ammunition, cannot be placed in the bag. Proper disposal of these materials is essential for safety and environmental protection.
While Gorilla Bags can handle many types of waste, certain electrical and mechanical items are prohibited due to their specific disposal requirements. Large appliances, such as fridges, freezers, and televisions, fall into this category, as they often contain hazardous components. Similarly, electronic waste (e-waste) and all types of batteries, including car batteries, are prohibited because of their potential environmental impact. Gas cylinders, including LPG bottles, also require special handling and should not be disposed of in a Gorilla Bag.
Speciality and regulated waste items require particular attention due to legal and environmental considerations. For example, tyres from cars, trucks, or bicycles are not permitted as they require special recycling through specific channels. Human or animal remains, including any biological waste, are strictly prohibited and must be disposed of according to health regulations. Although construction and landscaping debris are accepted, large quantities are not if they exceed weight limits.
Lightweight and easy to set up and use, Gorilla Bags offer incredible convenience compared to alternative waste management solutions, which require frequent trips to the dump or arranging drop-off and collection for a heavy metal skip. A few “Don’ts” here are:
Gorilla Bags offer a cost-effective waste management solution, especially for smaller projects that likely won’t generate enough waste to fill a traditional skip. The price covers delivery and collection, with no hidden costs or surprise fees like some waste disposal methods.
