gee-dub Posted April 1, 2023 Report Share Posted April 1, 2023 The parts list says these are 640mm x 1000mm. Long ago I came across a large quantity of no-name bags that just happened to work and am finally running out. Does anyone have a source for heavy duty poly bags in this size range?

Coop Posted April 2, 2023 Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 If these are drum liner bags, a little larger shouldn’t matter, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gee-dub Posted April 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 Right. The ones I have been using are about 30 x 40 inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted April 2, 2023 Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 I use the Husky 33”x45”, 42 gal 3 mil black bags for yard work. At $.50 each, cheap enough to just put out for the garbage truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can just barely fit a 55 gal drum of sawdust in them, and they don't rip on the way to the garbage can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted April 10, 2023 Report Share Posted April 10, 2023 We had a tornado hit our area a couple of months ago and toppled a tree onto the house and leveled a couple fences among other stuff. Our son left work after hearing of it and went to HD. I told him to pick up a chainsaw and10 boxes of these bags, and some rolls of plastic for the windows, not knowing what to expect. I presented the receipts to the insurance company and they covered all of them. I have 9 boxes of the bags left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gee-dub Posted April 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 Circling back on this. These are the bags I ended up with at about a buck-thirty each. They are a good 10" too tall but this does not effect the latches or operation of the system so I'm good with it. Old bags: New bags: The 3mil weight should let me get several uses out of each bag. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
