Wondering how to dispose of commercial waste? Whether you’re in the midst of starting up your own business, or a veteran manager just transitioning into a new company role, one aspect you might not remember to consider is the waste-removal. Particularly when the global focus has shifted to a far more economical and conservational one, there is heightened importance to ensure the correct type of waste is disposed of in the correct manner. So, what are the different types of wheelie bin that your business could utilise, and how does this align with your needs?

120 litre

This is often the smallest size of council bins, or the smallest size supplied by a privately hired firm. This type of bin is ideal for the waste disposal done by smaller-scale businesses. You should consider this size bin if your primary disposal is of glassware and food waste.

240 litre

A step up from the 120, the 240-litre bin is great for disposing of food waste, and/or glass bottle recycling; this makes it ideal for the SME that specialises in catering or tourism, such as non-chain restaurants, cafes, or hotels. Because this bin can get heavy when full, it’s best to keep it close to the collection point.

360 litre

This is the largest 2-wheel bin available for disposing of your company’s waste. The bin is ideal for those businesses that lack unrestricted access or exit point. Regarding waste, this bin size should be used to discard light materials such as plastic and cardboard.

660 litre

This is the smallest size of the 4-wheel bin readily available. This bin should be used by those medium-sized companies that have a greater amount of waste than the 2-wheel options could hold. Though this bin can be wheeled with stability between collection points, it’s worth noting that, if your company does not have unrestricted access around the building, it’s best to be kept near where it will be emptied.

1100 litre

This is the most popular choice of 4-wheel bin for many medium and large businesses. Ideal for the disposal of general waste and large quantities of recyclables, the fact that this bin boasts a lockable lid makes it a great choice for factories, restaurants and other businesses that deal with getting rid of sensitive produce.

Skip Hire

If you’re the manager of a chain or an extremely large company, consider hiring a skip for your waste disposal. This is especially apt if you are undergoing renovation, or if you are a company that specialises in renovations.
