Full details
This McAlpine Rubble Sack in White is designed for tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts needing a durable solution for transporting construction debris, garden waste, or bulk materials. Its key benefit is its reusability and robust construction, offering a cost-effective alternative to single-use bags or skip hire for smaller jobs.

FAQs
What is the maximum weight capacity of the rubble sack?
While the product description does not specify a maximum weight, it is constructed from rugged woven polypropylene with high tensile strength to withstand heavy loads. It is recommended not to overfill the bag beyond what can be comfortably managed and transported.
Can this bag be used for wet materials?
The bag is primarily designed for dry materials. While it can handle some moisture, prolonged exposure to wet contents without drying could lead to mildew and potentially weaken the fabric over time. It is not waterproof.
How do I store the rubble sack when not in use?
The bag is designed to be easily folded. Store it in a dry place, preferably out of direct sunlight, to maintain the integrity of the polypropylene material.
Is this bag suitable for hazardous waste?
This rubble sack is intended for general construction and garden waste. It is not suitable for hazardous materials, chemicals, or fine dust without appropriate containment.
What are the dimensions of the bag?
The approximate dimensions of the bag are 900mm x 600mm, with a capacity of about 77 litres.
How many uses can I expect from one bag?
Due to its rugged woven polypropylene construction and rip resistance, the bag is designed for multiple reuses under normal working conditions. Lifespan depends on the type of material carried and frequency of use.
Troubleshooting
Bag seams appear weak.
Inspect the seams for any fraying. While designed for strength, avoid overfilling beyond its intended capacity to prevent undue stress on the seams.
Material is difficult to clean.
Use a stiff brush with water to remove dried mud or debris. For tougher stains, a mild detergent can be used sparingly, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.
Bag is not standing upright when filling.
Ensure the bag is placed on a flat, level surface. You may need to hold the sides steady during initial filling if the material is unstable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No assembly is required. Simply unfold the bag and fill it with the desired material. Ensure the bag is placed on a stable surface before filling to prevent tipping.
Compatibility: This rubble sack is compatible with most standard wheelbarrows and vehicle boots for transport. It is designed for dry goods and can handle sharp, heavy materials like rubble, stones, soil, and garden waste.
Care:
- Empty Completely: After use, ensure the bag is fully emptied to prevent material from degrading or attracting pests.
- Clean if Necessary: For stubborn dirt, wipe the interior and exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the polypropylene fabric.
- Dry Thoroughly: If washed, allow the bag to air dry completely before storing to prevent mildew.
- Store Properly: Store in a dry, shaded area away from direct sunlight when not in use to prolong its lifespan.
- Inspect Regularly: Before each use, check for any signs of significant wear or damage to ensure safe operation.
