Feed-Bag Debris Sack
An animal feed bag becomes a durable garbage collector on the job site.
I was up on a roof replacing ridge shingles, and didn’t want to throw the old shingles and nails down on the driveway. And while I don’t have a debris bag, I do have chickens, which means I have lots of heavy-duty, woven plastic feed bags.
I folded a corner over on one of them, and installed a grommet. A carabiner later, I was able to tow my garbage around the roof with me, and keep the customer’s driveway clean. It makes a great Bagster alternative.
