{"title":"Rubble Sacks","description":"\u003cp\u003eHeavy duty rubble sacks for builders rubble, bricks, hardcore, soil and garden waste, in standard, extra thick and reusable woven options. Every rubble sack in this collection is made from tear resistant polythene or woven polypropylene rather than a thin bin bag, so it can handle sharp, dense construction debris without splitting the moment you lift it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose from single rolls of 6 to 10 rubble sacks for a small DIY job, right up to a bulk roll of 40 rubble sacks for a full renovation or garden clearance, in capacities from 30 litres to 32 litres. If you need something more heavy duty and reusable across multiple jobs, our woven builders rubble sacks hold up to 77 litres and are built from rugged polypropylene fabric strong enough to carry repeated loads of rubble, sand and gravel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll of our rubble sacks are suitable for bricks, sand, gravel, shale, hardcore and general building or garden waste - just avoid overfilling, keep the weight to something you can safely lift, and never use a standard rubble sack for chemical waste or asbestos (see our FAQs below for safe disposal guidance). Most rubble sacks in this range are made from recycled material and are themselves recyclable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you're after cheap rubble sacks for a weekend job or heavy duty rubble bags that will see out a full extension build, you'll find a size and thickness to match below - often for less than the same rubble sacks cost at a builders merchant.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"tidyz-rubble-sacks-roll-of-7","title":"Tidyz Rubble Sacks - Roll of 7","description":"\u003cp\u003e45 micron\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tidyz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55608712528258,"sku":"633852","price":0.63,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0918\/5024\/4482\/files\/8684_20220527161726_1024.jpg?v=1756477571"},{"product_id":"groundsman-heavy-duty-rubble-sacks-32l-roll-of-7","title":"Groundsman Heavy Duty Rubble Sacks - 32L, Roll of 7","description":"\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoll of 7 heavy duty rubble sacks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32 litre capacity, 660mm tall with a 1120mm circumference\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra thick and strong construction, suitable for rubble, bricks, sand, gravel and shale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the UK from recycled material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA dependable heavy duty option for building and landscaping waste\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTear a sack from the roll and open it out fully before filling, using the 570mm open width\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFill with rubble, bricks, sand, gravel or shale, keeping to around two thirds full for a weight you can safely lift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGather the top and tie securely with string, tape or a cable tie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake filled sacks to your local household waste recycling centre, subject to your council's rules on DIY rubble and hardcore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePack size: roll of 7 sacks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapacity: 32 litres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 1120mm circumference, 660mm tall, 570mm open width\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: extra thick recycled polythene, made in the UK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for: rubble, bricks, sand, gravel, shale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot suitable for: chemical waste, asbestos, liquids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a rubble sack?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA rubble sack is a heavy duty polythene bag designed for collecting and transporting builders rubble, bricks, sand, gravel and shale from DIY, renovation and landscaping jobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big is a rubble sack?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis rubble sack holds 32 litres, with a 1120mm circumference, 660mm height and 570mm open width when filled, enough for roughly one wheelbarrow load.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat weight can go in a rubble sack?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStick to inert building waste such as rubble, bricks, sand, gravel and shale, and avoid overfilling.
