Use this when doing demolition or renovation work that produces rubble, broken tiles, or heavy debris. Standard bin bags are not suitable — you need purpose-made construction waste sacks.
Macerie (rubble, debris) requires specialised heavy-duty sacks. The Italian construction industry uses sacchi polipropilene (polypropylene woven sacks) in sizes of 50-100 litres, rated for weights of 20-50 kg. They are sold individually or in packs. For larger volumes, a container (cassone) is rented from a waste company.
Sacchi da 50 litri per macerie e calcinacci.
50-litre sacks for rubble and plaster debris.
Calcinacci is the specific term for chunks of old plaster or mortar that fall during demolition.

Where do I dispose of apartment rubble?
Construction debris (rifiuti edili) is regulated; it must go to an isola ecologica or via a licensed carrier.
Servo un cassone per i rifiuti da demolizione.
I need a skip for demolition waste.
A cassone (skip) is hired from waste management companies; permits are required for street placement.
Italian DIY renovation (fai da te) is widespread — millions of Italians renovate their homes themselves, particularly kitchens and bathrooms. This has driven a market for self-service renovation products in ferramenta. Italian apartments produce significant renovation waste as they cycle through renovation waves — the post-war boom housing stock built in the 1950s-70s is currently undergoing its second major renovation cycle.
