Waste Management of Ohio Launches New Product - WM Bagster, A Convenient Solution For Home Improvement Jobs
Waste Management of Ohio announced today the launch of WM Bagster, an integrated service that provides homeowners and contractors an affordable, responsible and convenient solution for home improvement projects. The service is available in Columbus, Dayton, Toledo, Cleveland and the Akron/Canton area. WM Bagster combines a high-capacity polypropylene bag with a flat-fee pickup and disposal service, providing a flexible solution for projects too small to require a full steel dumpster.
WM Bagster, available at a number of retail locations including Home Depot, is a patent-pending 3 cubic yard polypropylene bag, measuring 8 feet long, 4 feet wide and 2.5 feet tall, that can hold 3,300 pounds of waste. After purchasing a WM Bagster container at the retail price of $29.95, customers place the bag in a convenient location and fill it with household junk, construction debris, or other non-hazardous materials. Yard waste, appliances, electronics, tires and food waste are not accepted. Once the bag is full, customers can go to thebagster.com or call 877-789-2247 to schedule a pickup for a flat fee. WM Bagster will be picked up within three days.
"WM Bagster provides a simple and convenient service for contractors or homeowners who need more than a bin but may not need a full dumpster," said Doug Reams, Area Sales Manager for Waste Management. "With so many homeowners tackling renovation, moving and clean-up projects themselves, we wanted to make sure this service was as user-friendly as possible. Customers can get started on projects quickly, use the bag for as long as they want, then schedule a prompt pickup knowing we will handle their waste responsibly."
WM Bagster service is available in 20 states and across Canada and available at a number of local retail stores including Home Depot.
