Bull Bags? Thoughts

[paulsharvey]

Anyone use these bull bags from homedepot/other sources. They are around $30-40 (plus whatever local pick up costs). I was as wondering about using them not as intended as a one time dumpster; but more as a bulk material bag, yes for debris, but also general use. I was thinking, hang it off the forks, and gather up misc light crap, and the put it on the trailer to haul to the dump, and hand unload the bag there, and reuse?

I've seen them used for light construction debris mostly, but you think they would be durable enough for multiple light uses?

Haven't used those particular ones, but I just bought a durasack concrete washout bag from Amazon to try myself. I think HD carries them, too.

I went ahead and picked one up, think it was $39 at Home Depot. It's been riding around still folded up in the bed of the truck till last night. It was fiddely as Frick to set up, and I don't really think it's going to be what I wanted. It's too large to put on a pallet, not firm enough to use a 4 way sling to move around and stay open. They might work OK for the intended us, as a foldable, non-mobile dumpster, but with the removal prices, they are Way more $$$ than a roll off dumpster, for the capacity. I'm probably just gonna put it on the trailer and have to move the trailer around.

Haven't used mine yet, but suspect the issue is going to be finding a way of rigging it so it stays open to fill it.

I've never heard of them actually. Heard of Bull Balls however. I also heard that when deep fried, they taste pretty good and the town just west of us is famous for their 'T esticle Festival' but I've never went to sample the cuisine.

Deerfield, Michigan, home of the T esticle Festival.

I see that word is banned on this site. This site has some very strange words banned.

I wonder if anyone makes one of those type bags that has an opening down low to allow you empty it in a controlled manner and direct it to a specific location.

What would be really useful is for it to be resealable.

I could use them to buy bulk fertilizer or seed.

Yes, there are 1 Cubic Yard woven bags that have a kinda draw string funnel-shoot on the bottom. You would need to look at the specialist supplies that sell packing/shipping, industrial supplies. Look at something like U-Line ssupply's.

I think they are intended for stuff like bulk corn feeders, and loading industrial machinery with stuff like plastic pellets.

Thanks

It is called it a discharge spout. I hadn’t thought about googling for a bag with a discharge spout.

I'd like to find a strong enough bag with a spout to place some concrete if there is such a thing. I would be working with about one 80lb bag at a time.

For that, you probably can modify a trash can, or better yet, a poly barrel. I did a very quick Google search, and I don't think it's what your looking for, but their are 1/4 yard skid steer (mini skid steer) concrete buckets; but the pour shoot is placed at the top, and doesn't appear movable; so you can kinda direct the pour when you dump, but that's not the same as having a movable shoot. They are around $900.
