10 yard container vs Dumpster bag
Direct answer
A bag holds 3 cubic yards and up to 3,300 pounds, so it only wins at genuinely small volume. You would need more than three bags to match a 10 yard container, and the collection fee is charged per bag. The table below compares them on 4 criteria that actually differ.
