About this product
Woven polypropylene at 150 g/m² with a water repellent PE coating. Tear resistant, and it holds its shape.
The slow part of clearing leaves is not the raking. It is picking them up.
A dustpan type mouth is what fixes that: you hold the bag open at ground level and sweep straight into it.
200 litres, which is 53 gallons, so a lawn's worth of leaves is a couple of trips rather than ten.
Woven polypropylene at 150 g/m² with a water repellent PE coating, so it handles wet leaves and does not tear on a twig.
It is reusable, which is the point. This replaces a season of disposable sacks.
Autumn clearing is two jobs pretending to be one. Raking leaves into a pile is quick and quite satisfying. Getting the pile into something you can carry is neither, and it is where the afternoon goes.
A dustpan style bag changes the second job. The mouth sits open at ground level so you sweep the pile straight in, rather than kneeling to scoop armfuls into a sack that keeps folding shut.
Capacity does the rest. At 200 litres this takes a serious volume of leaves, and leaves are bulky rather than heavy, so the limit is nearly always the bag rather than your back.
The fabric specification is the difference between a bag you use for years and one that splits in November. 150 g/m² woven polypropylene is a real workwear weight, and woven fabric resists tearing along a puncture rather than running from it, which matters when a twig goes through.
The PE coating makes it water repellent, and wet leaves are the normal case rather than the exception. An uncoated bag soaks up the water in the leaves and gets heavier and mouldier every time you use it.
It is not only for leaves. Grass clippings, prunings, weeds and general garden waste all go in it, and it works as a recycling bag or a sorting tub during a bigger job.
Still deciding?
You can change your mind. Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 you have 14 days from delivery to cancel for any reason, and a further 14 days to send it back in resaleable condition. We refund the price you paid, including standard delivery.
If it turns up faulty, damaged or not as described, that is on us. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 covers you, we pay the return postage, and you can have a repair, a replacement or your money back. Read the full detail on our refunds and returns page, or ask us anything before you order.
Got questions?
200 litres, which is 53 gallons.
Woven polypropylene at 4.4 oz/yd², which is 150 g/m², with a water repellent PE coating.
The mouth sits open at ground level, so you sweep leaves straight in rather than scooping them up by hand.
It is water resistant rather than fully waterproof. The PE coating repels water so wet leaves do not soak through the fabric.
It is described as tear resistant, and woven fabric resists a tear spreading from a puncture. A sharp branch driven hard into any bag will go through it.
Yes, that is the point of it. It replaces a season of disposable sacks.
1 kg empty.
Yes. Clippings, prunings, weeds and general garden waste all go in it.
It is designed to hold its shape at the mouth for sweeping. Self standing behaviour is not specified, so contact the team if that is essential.
Handle detail is not published for this item. Contact the team and we will confirm it with the supplier.
That depends on your local scheme. Most councils want their own sacks or bins, so this is usually for moving waste to a heap, a bin or the tip.
It is a waste bag rather than a composter. Sealed damp material in a coated bag will go anaerobic and smell.
Empty it, turn it inside out, let it dry and fold it away. Damp residue left in the seams is what shortens its life.
Yes, and then dry it properly before folding it.
Only if it is packed away damp. The coating means the fabric itself does not absorb water.
Most people manage with one and empty it as they go. Two is useful if you are sorting compostables from waste.
It is sized for bulky light waste. A 200 litre bag filled with soil is far too heavy to lift and risks tearing it.
No UV rating is published for this item. Storing it out of direct sun between uses will extend its life.
Yes, people use these for laundry, toys and general sorting. It is just a large tough bag.
A colour is not published for this item. Contact the team if it matters.
It is a fabric bag so it folds down for storage. Exact folded dimensions are not published.
Dragging a loaded bag over rough ground abrades the base. Better to carry or barrow it.
Yes, and that is the usual case. The PE coating is there precisely for it.
A builder's bag is made for weight. This is made for bulk, with a mouth designed for sweeping into.
No specific product guarantee is offered on this item. Your statutory rights under EU consumer law apply, including the 14 day right to change your mind.
PP is widely recyclable in principle, though a PE coated woven bag may not be accepted in kerbside collections. Check locally.
Yes, and it is a good pairing. Dethatching produces a surprising volume of material.
It is water repellent rather than a water container, and 200 litres of water weighs 200 kg. Do not.
For a domestic hedge, yes. Long woody prunings are awkward in any bag and are better cut down first.
Delivery is Europe wide and takes 5 to 7 days, after a 24 to 48 hour handling and processing time. A tracking number is emailed when the order ships.
The complete guide
The slow part of clearing leaves is not the raking. It is picking them up, kneeling to scoop armfuls into a sack that keeps folding shut.
This has a dustpan style mouth that sits open at ground level, so you sweep straight in. 200 litres of woven polypropylene with a water repellent coating, made to be used for years rather than thrown away in November.
Lawn Leaf Bags, sold as a 200 L Garden Waste Bag and also listed as leaves bags or lawn bags for leaves, by Steel Edging Company at steeledging.eu.com at EUR 39, warehouse pick code leaf-bag. A large reusable garden waste bag with a capacity of 200 litres (53 gallons), weighing 1 kg, made from woven polypropylene at 4.4 oz/yd² (150 g/m²) with a water repellent PE coating, making it both water resistant and tear resistant. Its defining feature is a dustpan type mouth that sits open at ground level so leaves can be swept directly in, rather than scooped by hand into a sack that folds shut, which is the slow part of leaf clearing. The 200 litre capacity suits leaves because they are bulky rather than heavy, so the bag rather than the user's strength is normally the limit. The fabric weight matters for durability: 150 g/m² woven polypropylene is a workwear weight and woven fabric resists tearing from a puncture rather than running from it, which is what happens when a twig goes through. The PE coating matters because wet leaves are the normal case, and an uncoated bag absorbs that water and becomes heavier and mouldier with use. It is reusable, replacing a season of disposable sacks, and also takes grass clippings, prunings, weeds and general garden waste, or serves as a recycling or sorting container. Care: empty it, turn it inside out and dry it before folding it away so damp residue does not sit in the seams. Sold as a standard stock item, so the 14 day EU withdrawal right applies in full. Delivery Europe wide, free over EUR 100, otherwise EUR 25.
