General Waste Bins for Business: Sizes and Schedules

Match bin size and lifts to your waste volume so you do not overpay or overflow.

Rear-lift sizes (tight access)

• 240L: Small offices; daily or 3-4x weekly.
• 360L: Busier offices/retail; 2-5x weekly.
• 660L: Shared tenancies, moderate hospitality; 2-4x weekly.
• 1100L: Higher volume, check lift/door clearances; 1-3x weekly.

Front-lift sizes (steady volumes)

• 1.5m3: Light industrial/retail back rooms; 1-3 lifts weekly.
• 3.0m3: Standard for warehouses and distribution; 2 lifts weekly to start.
• 4.5m3: High volume with clear drive-up access; 1-2 lifts weekly to start.

Quick tuning

• Target 60-80% full at pickup.
• Under 60% for two weeks: drop a lift.
• Over 80% twice: add a lift before upsizing.
• Keep lids closed to avoid rain weight; blocked access often triggers return fees.
