About the 660L Commingled Recycling Bin

The 660-litre commingled recycling bin delivers high-capacity mixed recycling for busy offices, schools, retail centers, and commercial premises with 15-30 staff or high customer volumes. This large yellow-lid wheelie bin provides nearly three times the capacity of standard bins while maintaining easy mobility and compatibility with standard collection vehicles.

Designed for operations generating substantial recyclable volumes - offices with high paper consumption, retail stores with packaging waste, schools with lunchtime container volumes, or hospitality venues with bottle and can waste - the 660L bin reduces collection frequency while ensuring materials are properly diverted from landfill. All materials are collected in one bin and sorted at a Material Recovery Facility (MRF) using advanced optical sorting, magnetic separation, and screening technology.

By implementing large-capacity recycling, businesses demonstrate environmental leadership, meet corporate sustainability targets, comply with commercial lease requirements, and reduce overall waste costs. The 660L bin is particularly effective for operations participating in container deposit schemes, managing cardboard packaging, or handling high volumes of office paper and beverage containers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can schools maximize recycling and reduce contamination?

Schools face unique recycling challenges with young students and high lunchtime volumes. Best practices include: clear signage with pictures at bin stations, bin monitors or eco-warriors to help students sort correctly, curriculum integration teaching recycling concepts, rewards programs for classes with lowest contamination, separating bins at peak times (one person per bin), package-free lunch days, and working with canteens to reduce problematic packaging. Many schools achieve 60-70% diversion rates with proper education. We provide free school-specific posters and can conduct student assemblies on recycling.

Are containers with food residue recyclable or contamination?

The general rule: if you can scrape or rinse it clean easily, it's recyclable. Yogurt containers, sauce jars, and drink bottles just need a quick rinse to remove residue. However, items with baked-on, sticky, or greasy food that won't rinse off should go in general waste or organics bins. The issue is that food contamination spreads to paper and cardboard in the MRF sorting process, spoiling entire bales of recyclables. When in doubt, the 'sniff test' works - if it smells bad, it shouldn't go in recycling. A few seconds of rinsing dramatically improves recycling outcomes.

Can businesses participate in container deposit schemes?

Absolutely! Eligible beverage containers (most drink bottles and cans 150ml-3L) are worth 10c each in most Australian states. Businesses with high volumes can use collection services that pick up containers, count them, and pay the refunds (minus a small handling fee). Alternatively, donate container collection to staff social clubs, charities, or school fundraisers - many schools earn thousands annually from container schemes. Or simply place containers in your recycling bin knowing they'll still be recovered and recycled at the MRF, just without claiming the refund.

What's the difference between commingled and cardboard-only bins?

Commingled bins accept all recyclables mixed together - bottles, cans, paper, and cardboard - which are sorted at a MRF. Cardboard-only bins accept just cardboard and paper, producing a cleaner commodity with higher resale value. For retail stores and warehouses generating large cardboard volumes, a dedicated cardboard bin often makes sense alongside a smaller commingled bin for containers. For offices with mixed waste streams, commingled is simpler. We can assess your waste composition and recommend the optimal configuration to maximize diversion and minimize costs.
