finding empty coal bags

unaslob · By: **unaslob** On: Mon Jul 12, 2010 10:54 pm

i am looking for coal bags....just empty... I have about 6-8 tons of excess nut coal that I want to bag and get out of my coal bin so I can make room for stove coal. any suggestions or websites.... i thought that this would be easy but am finding out it is quite difficult searching this online. I tried calling some of the bagged coal dealers... but none of them actually bag coal... it is as if the coal is mined already bagged!!!

I have already bought sand bags on line from esandbags.com and they were pretty close to the same thing as coal bags. I used them for sand for a wet basement so I don't actually know if they are strong enough for coal. Just a thought.

If I were you I'd try and find someone who live's near you that buys bagged coal and ask them to save the bags. I know someone in CT that burns bagged rice coal. He bought a whole flatbed trailer load that was palletized and shrink wrapped. I bought his used woven bags from him last year. Put your town out there. Maybe someone will speak up.

I don't have 6 or 8 tons worth of empty bags, maybe a couple tons worth. If you want them and are willing to pay the shipping, I'd be happy to send them to you. Drop me an email and let me know.

You may want to see if there is anyone in your area that will pick up the bulk coal for a reasonable cost and save you the trouble of bagging it.

That's not a bad idea... the coal is nut..I think slightly smaller then the standard nut. It is from the jeddo #8 breaker. I might have about five tons.... anybody out there want to take it....coal is going
for about 160 a ton around here... I would probably sell it for 100 bucks a ton. Does that sound reasonable??? Any takers??? Am I posting this offer in the right area???

When I go to the breaker with my trailer I bag some of the coal to get some weight off the trailer and onto the pickup. The bags I use are used feed bags I got free by posting a "wanted" message on my local freecycle site. See: http://www.freecycle.org/ to find a group in your area.

I have a pile of them your welcome to, probably over 5 tons worth @ 50# per. Located in south/central CT.

Check with your local feed mill store.

Mine sells new bags but they may be able to tell you who buys a lot of feed and has some used ones to sell.

You might want to try ULINE.COM They have every type of bag available and I've been using their poly bags for years. Many different sizes too. Good luck.
