Wheelie bins for recycling
We want to make it as easy as possible for you to recycle all you can. This is why we have a range of containers to suit your needs. Remember - you need to recycle all your paper, card, cans and plastic bottles - so it's vital you use the right sized bin. An average family has enough recycling to fill a standard 240L bin, the slim size 180L bin is good if you only have a limited amount of space to store your bin and the small 140L bin is best for those residents who have very small forecourts or have problems moving the larger bins.
| Standard Bin | Slim Bin | Small |
|---|---|---|
| Height: 107cm / 42in | 107cm / 42in | 107cm / 42in |
| Width: 58cm / 23in | 48cm / 19in | 48cm / 19in |
| Depth: 72cm / 29in | 72cm / 29in | 55cm / 23 in |
We realise that some residents will have problems using any size of wheelie bin, and if this applies to you please let us know and we can arrange for you to use a green box.
