Bullbag Franchise Cost and Requirements for 2025

Background

BullBag is more than just a waste removal company - it's the pioneer that created the reusable dumpster bag category. Founded in 2003, BullBag invented and patented a smarter, more sustainable way to manage clean-ups for both homeowners and contractors. With exclusive U.S. patents protecting its bag design and lifting system, BullBag has grown into a trusted name across 13 states, serving more than 47,000 customers through partnerships with major retailers like Home Depot and Ace Hardware. This innovative model offers franchisees a proven business backed by over two decades of success.

As a franchisee, you'll operate a high-growth hauling business with the advantage of patented BullBag technology and the custom BullBag Wrangler truck. The model is simple yet powerful: customers purchase the bag once and use it for life, while you handle the recurring hauling and disposal services. With 60%+ margins, multiple revenue streams, and a low-overhead, home-based setup, BullBag combines retail visibility, recurring service revenue, and operational efficiency into one scalable opportunity.

What sets BullBag apart is its versatility and built-in demand. Homeowners tackling cleanouts, contractors managing job sites, remodelers, and even insurance companies all rely on BullBag's flexible solution. Franchisees benefit from recurring hauling revenue, retail sales, contractor accounts, and additional fees for expedited service, overfills, and more. With CRM- and AI-powered routing, billing automation, and national account access, you can focus on growth while running lean and efficient operations.

From day one, you'll be supported by BullBag's experienced corporate team. Training covers everything from operations and sales to hauling systems and customer service. Within weeks, you'll have your truck ordered, CRM system set up, retail placement secured, and local marketing campaigns launched. By weeks 6 - 12, you'll be in live operations, generating revenue with ongoing business coaching to ensure a strong ramp-up. BullBag's tagline says it all: You fill it, we dump it, you keep it. As a franchisee, you'll be delivering a smarter, greener, and highly profitable solution to your community while building a business with lasting value.

Buying a Franchise Guide: What is a Franchise Disclosure Document?

When evaluating a franchise opportunity, reading and understanding the current version of their FDD is a necessity. Considering the benefits of franchising, such as established brand recognition and support from the franchisor, it's important to also take into account franchise fees and franchising royalty fees. Since most franchisors are privately owned companies, the current versions of their FDDs are typically not available unless requested directly from them.
