Bulka Bags Perth
One cubic metre, one lift.
All of our products are available in bulka bags, large, lightweight bags that hold around a cubic metre of garden or landscaping material. Collect them from the Bibra Lake yard, or have them delivered. We can only deliver a bulka bag if you have a forklift or crane on site to lift it off the truck.
For a bigger job a bulka bag beats several trips with a trailer. No forklift or crane? Then a tipper delivery or a trailer load is the way to go. Ask at the counter and we will tell you which suits your site.

How many bags do you need?
One bag is roughly one cubic metre
Length by width by depth gives you cubic metres. Work it out before you come down and you will not be back tomorrow for a second load.
It is an estimate. Uneven ground and how firmly it settles both change what you actually use, so round up rather than down.
That is about half a trailer load. Order a touch over rather than under, a second trip costs more than the extra scoop.
We load by the scoop: one scoop is about 0.33 m³, three make a cubic metre, and a scoop and a half is 0.5 m³.
How to choose a bulka bag
Four things that actually decide it
How much you actually need
A bulka bag is roughly a cubic metre. Below that, a trailer load is usually simpler; well above it, a tipper delivery starts to make more sense than a stack of bags.
What you can lift at your end
This is the one that catches people out. A filled bag needs a forklift or crane to move it, and there is no way to take one off a truck by hand. We can only deliver a bag to a site that has one.
Where it has to go
A bag can be set down exactly where you want to work, which is its real advantage over a tipped load that has to be barrowed. That only holds if there is access for the machine doing the lifting.
Whether you want it tidy
A bag keeps the product contained and off the driveway, which matters on a paved or finished site. A tipped load is faster and cheaper but it lands where it lands.
Bag, trailer or truck
Side by side, and why you would pick each
| Product | Best for | Main characteristic | Choose this when |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bulka bag | A big job with lifting gear on site | Around 1m³ a bag. Delivered only to a forklift or crane | You need real quantity and there is a forklift or crane at your end to take it off. |
| Trailer load | A small job you want done today | Free for two hours, yard to home | You are under a cubic metre and would rather not wait on a delivery slot. |
| Tipper delivery | Quantity with no way to lift | Tipped where the truck can reach | You want several cubic metres and have nothing on site to lift a bag off a truck. |
