Working on chipping away a lot of plaster, and the mess is both heavy, dusty, and sometimes sharp. My idea of using black plastic bags was not great. You couldn't load much before the bags broke when trying to lift them.

Does anyone have an idea of what I should do? The plaster remnants have to go down three flights of stairs and be driven to the dump. It would be nice if neither the stairs nor the car became too dusty.
 
buy those "leaf baskets" with handles that you can put everything in and carry down (are made of thick rubber/plastic) or if you have a garbage can you can borrow/use and put everything in and roll down the stairs.
 
Or why not a bunch of sturdy plastic/fabric bags of the IKEA bag type. I've carried sand in such and they hold up well and stand stable in the car. Variants with zippers are also available if desired.
 
Big Bag or similar products are available in suitable sizes at, for example, K-Rauta.
 
Brick buckets also work well. But maybe a bit unnecessarily expensive if you have to buy them.

Keep in mind that it will be heavy if there are large bags/baskets/barrels....
 
Is there an elevator? If so, a wheeled soptunna is perfect!

It can also work in stairs if you don't load it too heavily and take it cautiously.
 
Unfortunately, no elevator, so stairs are the only option. It feels like you need some sort of closed container to prevent it from getting dusty. Much of the debris is like fine-grained sand.
 
Any pipe solution?
 
Throw out the window?

I used heavy-duty paper trash bags for this. Worked well, just keep in mind not to put too much in each one. It gets heavier than you think.

You mean that you have to cram them full? ;)

Yep...better to carry until you drop than to go multiple times....;)
 
Do you know any painters? Empty paint buckets are usually good to use, and the painter is more than happy to get rid of them.
