Used sandbags may be contaminated. Please consider your own safety and wear gloves when disposing of used bags. The bags can be disposed of in your bin, and contents can be safely used on garden flower beds etc. If you need sandbags for flood defence or traffic management, look no further than Weir Bags, long-term suppliers of heavy-duty sandbags to local councils, businesses, the Environment Agency and the military. Made from polypropylene or environmentally friendly hessian with rot-proof options, they are supplied filled or empty according to your requirements. Sandbags prevent or reduce flood water damage by forming a barrier which resists the rising water and diverts it around instead of through buildings. They should be loosely filled so they are flexible enough to fit tightly together. Sandbags won't guarantee a water-tight seal but are extremely effective and will also filter out muddy sediments. Only fill your sandbag up to three quarters full as it can then be moulded easily into the right shape.

Because they don't retain water (increasing by only 10% weight in use & draining in 2 hours) our Sandbags are easy to redeploy & don't retain contamination which may be present in flood water. Sandbags can be used to stop or limit flood water entering buildings. This information will help you get the best use out of your sandbags when used domestically.
