Refuse and rubble sacks

What is a rubble sack?

Rubble sacks are tear resistant industrial bags specifically made for managing tough waste materials like bricks, concrete, and aggregates. Known for their extreme strength, they’re made from durable LLDPE recycled material that resists punctures and splitting.

At Kite Packaging, our rubble sacks - particularly our heavy duty bags – combine high performance with competitive pricing, delivering excellent value without compromising on durability.

What Are Rubble Sacks Used For?

Rubble sacks are specifically used for collecting and disposing of heavy waste such as bricks, concrete, garden debris and site materials.

Find out more about each type and choose the right rubble sack for your needs:

• Bulk bags are heavy duty rubble bags, widely used in construction and landscaping thanks to their reinforced woven structure and durable lifting loops – perfect for easy forklift or crane transport.
• Woven polypropylene sacks are ideal for garden waste, rubble and smaller site jobs. Known as the ‘little brother’ of the bulk bag, they’re available in six sizes to suit a range of project needs.
• Polythene rubble sacks offer a cost-effective solution for lighter waste. Made from tough 125-micron polythene, they’re flat-packed for space saving and available in grey, black or blue, with excellent burst resistance.
• Our refuse sacks (or bin bags) are suitable for everyday waste disposal at home, in offices, warehouses and kitchens. Choose from various thicknesses and colours for colour-coding.

What’s the Difference Between a Rubble Sack and a Refuse Sack?

Rubble sacks differ from refuse sacks by being considerably stronger to accommodate for the heavy and irregular shapes of bricks or rubble. The greater thickness prevents tears when handling heavy duty objects, whereas refuse sacks are made thinner to minimise plastic usage when carrying lighter materials.

What Are the Strongest Rubble Bags?

The strongest rubble bags are FIBC bags – also known as tonne bags or bulk bags. Each FIBC bag at Kite Packaging has a certified safe working load of 1000kg and is ideal for transporting dry, pourable materials like sand, gravel, cement, fertilisers and more.
