Rear-Lift Bin Hire Guide

Rear-lift bins fit tight spaces and shared bin rooms. Here is how to choose sizes and lift frequency without overpaying.

Sizes and best fit

  • 240L: Small offices, cafes with light prep waste; daily or 3-4x weekly.
  • 360L: Busy offices, small retailers; good for mixed staff waste.
  • 660L: Shared tenancies or moderate hospitality; still fits most bin rooms.
  • 1100L: Higher volume sites; check lifts and door clearances before choosing.

Lift frequency

  • Aim for 60-80% full at pickup.
  • Under 60% for two weeks: drop a lift.
  • Over 80% twice: add a lift before upsizing.

Avoid common issues

  • Keep lids closed to stop rain adding weight.
  • Place commingled away from sinks to reduce liquid contamination.
  • Clear access on collection days; blocked access often incurs return fees.

Want a right-sized rear-lift plan? Contact with bin room photos and current pickups. We will propose sizes and days that fit your site.
