We have a wholesale co that sells all types of supplies and they have about 50 different types of bags of all sizes and thicknesses. Call the city and find out where they get theirs.

You bag leaves?

[Craig Jones]

Landscapers Supply carries the large bags to fit the green cans. I am not sure if they carry the large clear bags you mentioned though.

Try ANY janitorial supply and I think you will find what you are looking for. Afterall,these are the same type bags that schools use, for instance, like for their cafeteria barrels and such. You may even want to check some place like Home Depot or Lowe's but check in the janitorial/building maintenance section, not lawn and garden. Good luck with it!

Isn't there any way that you could tarp them?? If now try J Thomas they may have something.

Sams Club (aka Walmart) carries a 55 gal lawn and leaf bag which fits, and is less money than the ones at LS or JThomas.

thanx for the replys i cant tarp them because i only have a pathfinder 89 truck with a home made enclosed boat trailer for all my equiptment.i dont use alot of bags i pretty much only use them if they cant be mulched up the big piles then im stuck blowing them into huge piles and bagging them.my girlfriend has a huge woods in the back i usally dump like two garbage cans of leaves or wood back there but its annoying i rather bag it up until i can afford the better truck and trailer.being this has been my first year i rather put all my money into new equiptment im getting a 36 wb toro t-bar model for my first instead of the scag i can buy it today but when do you guys think it is the best time to buy new equiptment now .after christmas or in spring so it dont just sit in my garage.i probally am gona do alot more cleanups so i can use it now.when the best time to buy equiptment money wise also.sorry for so many questions thanx

this should be as good a time as any. we have found that the dealer has more affect over pricing than time of year however it can certainly play a part. also look at serial numbers to make sure you are buying current model both traction unit and deck. sometimes they try to sell overstocks for the same price as current models this should also alow some room for negotiation. we bought 2 toro hydro units in spring 99 and the tration units where 97 units i think we were able to negotiate anther 200 off each unit on already discounted prices. also call around and price match sometimes it is less money to buy tration units form one place and decks from another, or the dealer will match to keep the business.

Ron, you can get the bags from Plastic Bag Mart or Landscapers Supply, both in Westbury. Lawnboy11

westbury longisland im not to far from there if thats what your talking about i live in westbabylon if it is in li ny do u have a number thanx lawnboy

[Greenkeepers]

My experience with buying equipment is that around the end of the year is the best time. One there isn't that much demand for turf equipment with snow on the ground and second, you can tell the dealer if he/she gives you a discount to buy they won't have it in their year end inventory to pay taxes on it.

Just my thought..

[klite]

If they have a Penn Jersey Dealer in your area they have alot of different size bags. If not Landscaper Supply Has the bags you want in their Catolog.

[lawnboy11]

Yes. westbury, long island. I'm in western nassau. I don't have a number with me, but they sholud be in the book or online. http://www.landscapersupply.com (I think) and no I don't work there!
