Choosing the Right Bin Size

For Residential Properties

When choosing a bin for your home, consider these factors:

  • Household Size: 1-2 person homes typically need a 240L bin, while larger households may require 360L or larger
  • Space Available: Consider where you'll place the bin and ensure you have adequate space
  • Waste Volume: Think about how much waste you typically generate each week
  • Project Duration: For renovations or cleanouts, consider how long you'll need the bin
  • Waste Type: Different bins are better suited for different types of waste

For Commercial Properties

Businesses and commercial properties should consider:

  • Business Type: Retail, hospitality, and office spaces have different waste needs
  • Staff Size: More employees typically means more waste generation
  • Collection Frequency: Consider how often you'll need collections
  • Space Constraints: Ensure you have adequate space for the bin size
  • Waste Separation: Consider multiple bins for different waste streams

Frequently Asked Questions About Bin Sizes

What bin size is best for a standard household?

For most standard households of 1-2 people, a 240L bin is sufficient for weekly waste collection. Larger households of 3-4 people may benefit from a 360L bin, while families of 5+ or properties with high waste output might consider a 660L bin. Your specific needs may vary based on lifestyle and waste generation patterns.

Can I change my bin size if I find it's too small or too large?

Yes, we understand that waste needs can change over time. You can upgrade or downgrade your bin size by contacting our customer service team. For ongoing service customers, bin size changes typically take effect from the next scheduled collection. For one-off hires, we recommend selecting the appropriate size from the start.

How much space do I need for each bin size?

The space required depends on the bin dimensions: a 240L bin needs approximately 730mm x 580mm of floor space, a 360L bin requires about 850mm x 620mm, a 660L bin needs roughly 1370mm x 780mm, and an 1100L bin requires approximately 1370mm x 1070mm. Always allow additional space around the bin for access and maneuvering.

Are different bin sizes available for recycling and general waste?

Yes, all our bin sizes (240L, 360L, 660L, and 1100L) are available for both general waste and recycling services. Certain bin sizes may be more appropriate for specific waste streams based on your unique requirements. Our team can help you determine the optimal bin configuration for your waste management needs.

What's the difference between our bins and traditional skip bins?

Our wheelie bins offer several advantages over traditional skip bins: they're more maneuverable with wheels for easy positioning, have lids to prevent overflow and odors, require less space, are more aesthetically pleasing, and often cost less for comparable waste volume. They're ideal for both residential and commercial settings where traditional skips may be impractical.

Can I order different bin sizes for different waste types?

Absolutely! Many of our customers choose different bin sizes for different waste streams. For example, you might select a larger bin for general waste and a smaller bin for recycling. Our waste management consultants can help you determine the optimal combination of bin sizes based on your specific waste profile and collection requirements.
