@PennyChan,

Penny, I've never heard the term. Maybe if you put it in context someone would know.

Could she mean Greenwitch?

@roger,

After a semitruck accident, there were punctured and torn landscaping bags everywhere.

I still don't understand it. Are they root-ball bags? Lawn clipping bags? Something else?

@PennyChan,

Perhaps Penny means sacks - sacks of planting amendments, or steer manure, potting soil, and such.

@PennyChan,

Best guess then is that they mean plastic bags filled with leaves or grass clippings. That is only a guess, and since nobody seems to know, it is an unusual usage.

Could be those giant plastic rubbish bags.

@PennyChan,

Big polypropylene bags. You need a Hiab hydraulic arm to lift them, or a fork-lift.

They can have soil, gravels, mulch, sand, anything in them.

@McTag,

In the US, they're called the Bagster and are promoted by a national company called Waste Management.

I was going to post something about it earlier today to ask if anyone had ever made use of them and the pick up service.

Here's their website:

They are a lot smaller when shown with the perspective aid of a human standing next to them.

They look to be just the right size for cleaning out a garage and a bunch of closets.

@Butrflynet,

Ha ha on me; one of their facilities was a design client of ours some time ago. But, I'd never heard of these things. Seems like they could be useful.

@Butrflynet,

It's the same idea, but the ones we use for building materials and garden/landscaping materials are about one-third that size, but deeper.
