Litter Recycling Wheelie And Bottle Bins FAQs
What size wheelie bin do I need for a commercial or public site?
Standard capacities run from 120 litres for low-footfall areas up to 1100 litres for high-traffic sites such as retail parks, schools or industrial units. As a rough guide, allow for one 240-litre bin per 15-20 regular users, though footfall and collection frequency both affect the right choice. Our sales team can help you size bins correctly against your waste volumes and collection schedule.
Are your litter and recycling bins suitable for outdoor use all year round?
Yes, all our bins are manufactured from durable, colourfast plastic or metal construction designed to withstand UK weather, including UV exposure, rain and frost, without fading or becoming brittle. They're built for heavy daily use in exposed public and trade environments, so they'll keep their appearance and structural integrity over years of service, not just months.
Can I get bins with colour-coded lids for recycling streams?
Yes, we can supply bins with colour-coded apertures and lids to match standard recycling streams such as general waste, mixed recycling, glass and food waste. This makes it easier for staff or the public to sort waste correctly and helps you meet site or local authority recycling requirements. Let us know your required streams and we'll match colours and labelling accordingly.
Do you offer bird-proof or pest-resistant bins?
Yes, we offer optional bird-proof aperture flaps that stop birds and vermin accessing waste while preventing spillage from wind or knocks. These are a popular addition for outdoor litter bins near food outlets, parks and transport hubs where pest control is a concern. They can be fitted as standard on new orders or specified when customising your bin.
What's the difference between a bottle bin and a standard litter bin?
Bottle bins (sometimes called bottle trucks) are designed specifically for glass collection, typically featuring a narrower aperture to control what goes in and a robust internal liner or bin to contain broken glass safely. They're commonly used in pubs, bars, festivals and hospitality venues where high volumes of glass need separate, safe collection. Standard litter bins are general purpose and not designed to handle glass safely in the same way.
Can bins be customised with ashtrays or specific branding?
Yes, we can add optional ashtrays for designated smoking areas, along with custom colours, signage or branding to match your site or corporate identity. This is particularly useful for businesses, local authorities and estates wanting consistent bin specifications across multiple locations.
