What Are Garden Big Bags?

---

Garden big bags are our most versatile product range — designed for collecting and disposing of all types of garden waste, from light leaf and grass cuttings to heavier soil, turf, and prunings. The key feature that makes our garden bags special is simple: the bag stays open by itself, leaving both hands free to rake, shovel, or prune.

We use high-quality materials to make our bags very durable and avoid any tearing — yet they remain easy to fold and store when empty. The range covers 19 models: from compact 90L mini bags for small garden clearances to full 1,000L big bags for large landscaping projects, available in white, green, and black, with smiley print, plain, or your own company logo.

😊

Our smiley makes you smile in the garden

The 123BigBags smiley bag is designed around one principle: the bag stays open independently, leaving both hands free to work. Thick fabric holds the shape without being held. Easy handles let you move it around the garden while it's partially filled. Our smiley has become one of our most recognisable products — many customers request it by name.

What Can Go in a Garden Bag?

---

Material	Notes	Recommended SWL
🍂 Leaves	Very light — volume fills first, weight is rarely a concern	200–500 kg
🌿 Grass cuttings	Wet grass is heavier than it looks — fill gradually	750–1,000 kg
✂️ Prunings & branches	Watch for sharp branch ends — fill carefully to avoid puncture	750–1,000 kg
🌱 Mixed green waste	Good all-round application — suitable for composting facility delivery	750–1,000 kg
🌍 Soil & turf	Heavy when wet — fill by weight, not volume. Wet clay turf can reach 1,000 kg quickly	1,000–1,500 kg
🍄 Compost & bark mulch	Moisture significantly increases weight — weigh a trial load first	750–1,000 kg
🪵 Firewood & logs	Use the ventilated log bag model — firewood must continue drying after bagging	750–1,500 kg

Why 123BigBags Garden Bags?

---

👐 Stays open — hands free

The bag holds its shape and stays open independently. No need to hold it open while filling — both hands are free for raking, pruning, or shovelling.

🤲 Easy handles

Comfortable carrying handles allow you to reposition the bag around the garden when partially filled — no forklift needed for lighter loads. Once full, any standard mechanical lifting equipment collects it.

🏗️ Forklift & crane ready

Cross-corner loops on all four sides — compatible with forklift tines, crane hooks, and telehandler attachments. All loops must be engaged on every mechanical lift.

🌧️ All-weather use

Woven PP is inherently moisture-resistant — garden bags continue to work in rain. For very wet material (pond silt, waterlogged turf), choose the moisture-proof model with PE liner.

📦 Easy to store

Empty bags fold flat and stack compactly — store them in the shed between seasons. Garden bags stored correctly can last 3–5 years of seasonal use. Inspect before each use for UV damage and loop condition.

🏷️ Your logo available

Landscaping companies and garden centres can order branded bags with their company logo — upload your logo online or contact us for custom specifications. Lead time: 8–12 weeks from proof approval.

Frequently Asked Questions

---

How do I choose the right size garden bag? + Start with the material. For light waste (leaves, cuttings), volume is the constraint — choose a bag that gives you the right capacity. For heavier material (soil, wet turf, gravel), weight is the constraint — choose the SWL first. A rough guide: one bag per 3–4 m² of lawn turf, one bag per 5–8 m² of light leaf and cutting waste. Always add 20% to your estimate and order a spare — it's much cheaper than a second delivery. Can I put soil or turf in a garden bag? + Yes — soil is one of the most common garden bag contents. But wet soil is heavy. A bag filled with wet clay turf can weigh 800–1,000 kg before it looks full. Always use a 1,000 kg or 1,500 kg SWL bag for substantial soil quantities, and fill by estimated weight rather than filling to the top. Can I move a garden bag once I start filling it? + Yes — while the bag is partially filled and still light enough, use the easy handles to drag or carry it to a better position. Once it is more than about one-third full of heavy material, the weight makes manual movement impractical. Plan where you want the bag before you start filling with heavy material. Can a garden bag be collected by a crane truck? + Yes. The standard cross-corner loop design allows forklift, crane, or telehandler collection. For crane collection, ensure the collection company's equipment is rated for the filled bag weight and that all loops are accessible and undamaged before collection. Is there a minimum order quantity? + No. At 123BigBags you can order from a single bag to several full pallets. Volume pricing applies automatically at checkout. Order before 3 p.m. for next-day express delivery.
