Removal of Big Bags USA Systems

Clean-up is quick and easy with the Big Bags USA protective flood barrier system.  They can be emptied either on-site or lifted individually by forklift or pay loader.  The sandbags are dumped by placing individual sandbags into a pay-loader, lifting bucket 8-10 feet, tilting bucket forward until the sandbags turn upside down and falls top down. The sandbags can then either be lifted off the sand pile or will need the bucket to push or pull it to loosen the sandbags from the sand pile. The best part, our innovative flood barriers can be re-used!

Removal of Systems and Resources


When ready to dismantle Big Bags USA flood barriers, use the same equipment as in deployment with the addition of a front fork attachment (if applicable).  When Big Bags USA barriers are properly removed, they may be washed and stored for a later date.  Any sand that is NOT contaminated may be re-used as well.  There are two preferred methods of recovery recommended by DRIPS, LLC:

1. Front Fork Removal

Using a front fork lift, place ALL four utility loops onto lift.  DO NOT lift bags with less than four loops connected. When lifting individual bags they will tear away from the systems.  This is normal, the bag will remain unaffected.

2.  Front Loader Removal

When using a front loader, position the bucket of loader against the bottom of the system.  Move the bucket slightly under the system and raise the corner of the bucket to allow system to tear and topple away from the barrier dumping contents of the bag(s).

Reuse or Destroy the Bags


If the bags are to be reused, thoroughly rinse and dry bags BEFORE storage.  If bags are not washed and dried thoroughly, mold and fungus may grow and effect the intergrity of the bags as well as the health of workers.  If the sandbags are to be destroyed, they can be incinerated as there ar eno toxic chemicals used in the manufacturing.

Our main objective at Big Bags USA is to assist communities and individuals in times of need.  We would like to assist you in the pre-flood time frames to help minimize property damage.  Our flood barriers provide lightning fast flood protection at a fraction of the cost associated with traditional sandbags.  In communities that are prone to flooding in the past, stockpiling Big Bags USA flood barriers in strategic locations can greatly reduce response time.  Contact us today at 800-337-0537 for more information!
