    Builders bags / woven poly sacks are availble online about 50l and are easy to move.

    I find 50/80l sacks ideal , small enough to carry but hold and stack a good volume of material - can also stand in them to pack them down easily.

    Buiders/Ton bags are perfect, get them off ebay from as little as £2.50 INC VAT when bought in bulk.

    You can get "1/2" size bags : 45*45*60 with loop handles which are good for handling heavy contents (ie soil plugs, mulch etc)- similar but larger than the council green waste bags.

    I use Bosmere Landscaper bags, tough enough to last ages,can power wash out with a grasping handle at the bottom great for packing down large volume stuff, you get them from Amazon or ebay.

    Go to your builders merchant, like Keyline, Jewsons etc they sell builders sand in these bags but take them back for disposal. Can usually pick them up for free, excellent fora cheap weed suppressant under garden bark too.

    In the past i always used 1 ton builders bags, but I'm now after plastic bags that will be left with the client to deal with...

    I saw my local greenthumb franch out scarifying today!

    I usually go with the ton bags as loading them is so easy. and the fluff is pretty light as long as you don;t stamp them full.

    Try polybags.co.uk. We use the BRS350 and they are really strong bags that you can really compress grass etc into. In fact they are usually too heavy for clients to lift if you fill them to capacity! Work out about 30p each so allow for them in the price ...
