How long will it take to receive my order?

We are just getting started, so we will send all orders as quickly as possible once we receive your order. Initially, it could take up to a few months to get them made and delivered to your address. Once we know you love the product, we will be investing in a machine to automate the process and will be able to make inventory to ship orders quicker. Look for our future crowdfunding campaign to help us purchase a machine.

How many times can you use a Dumpsac?

This totally depends on your tolerance for dealing with dust. We often use one Dumpac to empty the vacuum canister 2-3 times and then seal it closed before putting it in the trash. Someone who needs minimal exposure to dust may want to use a new one each time.

Are Dumpsac bag’s recyclable, biodegradable or compostable?

Currently, Dumpsac bags are made of clear LDPE plastic material and are not recyclable which is the same material used in sandwich bags, freezer bags, and most household garbage bags. As our volume grows, we plan to make them in more sustainable material options.

What is the adhesive strip on the outside/shorter side of the bag opening used for?

This strip can be exposed, turned inside, and secured to the vacuum canister for the user who really needs to seal in as much dust as possible during the transfer process. Neither adhesive strip has to be secured to the canister to transfer the canister contents. The adhesive strip helps to hold the bag to the canister while pulling the bag over the drop lid and helps to minimize dust escaping during the transfer, but it is a personal preference to use it or not.

What other uses are there for a Dumpsac bag?
