How 1100 litre bin collection works

  1. Tell us what waste you produce

    Let us know the waste stream, approximate volume and how often you expect an 1100L bin to fill.

  2. Confirm the bin setup

    We’ll check that an 1100 litre wheelie bin is suitable for the waste, available storage and expected load weight.

  3. We deliver the bin

    The 1100L bin is delivered to your site. Standard bins have no rental or delivery charge under the normal Business Waste service.

  4. One-off or ongoing collection

    We arrange collection through registered waste carriers. You can choose daily, weekly, fortnightly or ad hoc collections where available, with the waste transferred to the appropriate recycling or treatment facility.

Is an 1100L bin right for my business?

An 1100L wheelie bin is generally best where a business produces regular volumes of lightweight general waste or dry recycling and has enough room for a four-wheel container.

It can reduce the number of smaller bins needed and may allow less frequent collections. However, it is not suitable for every waste stream. Dense materials such as food and glass, liquids and hazardous waste require different containers.

If an 1100L bin is routinely collected half empty, a smaller bin or less frequent schedule may be more economical. If it regularly overflows, additional 1100L bins or more frequent collections may be needed.

1100 litre bin dimensions and specifications

As the name suggests, 1100L wheelie bins can accommodate up to 1100 litres of waste. This is between 15 and 18 full bags of rubbish (when using standard size 65 litre bin bags). Each one is the same size, whatever type of waste you choose to fill it with.

Approximate 1100 litre bin dimensions are:

  • Height – 1.40m
  • Width – 1.26m
  • Depth – 1.00m

The maximum 1100 litre bin weight varies depending on the waste stream. As an example, some of the weight restrictions for a 1100L bin based on the type of rubbish are:

  • Dry mixed recycling – 35kg
  • Cardboard waste – 35kg
  • General waste – 65kg

Overweight containers may incur additional charges or may not be collected until the load is corrected.

How much space does an 1100 litre bin need?

Allow enough space for the bin itself, for the lid to open fully and for staff or the collection crew to move it safely. The collection point should have a firm, level surface and an accessible route for the bin and collection vehicle.

If access is narrow or storage space is restricted, a 660L or smaller wheelie bin collected more frequently may be more practical.

Who needs a 1100 litre bin?

Common businesses that opt for a 1100 litre bin include:

The deciding factor is waste volume and storage space, rather than the sector you operate in. If you need a larger bin, we can provide static options such as:

What can you put in a 1100L bin?

Each 1100L bin should only contain the waste stream agreed for that collection. This may be a single material such as cardboard or paper, general waste, or an agreed dry mixed recycling stream containing accepted recyclable materials.

They’re not suitable for glass recycling, hazardous waste, or liquid waste types.

Case study: An 1100-litre recycling bin for Brighouse Flooring

Commercial flooring involves a regular flow of products, samples and deliveries, which can leave businesses with significant amounts of recyclable packaging. Brighouse Flooring Company supplies and installs flooring across West Yorkshire, including carpet tiles, luxury vinyl, linoleum and safety flooring.

Business Waste provides a 1100-litre wheelie bin for dry mixed recycling, including paper, card, plastic and cans. Its larger capacity gives the business room to consolidate recyclable materials on-site, with fortnightly collections preventing them from building up between services.

For Brighouse Flooring, fortnightly collections provide enough capacity for the site’s DMR without requiring a weekly lift. It keeps common recyclable materials together in one container and separate from other waste produced by the business.

Arrange delivery and collection of a 1100 litre bin

We’ll assess your waste type, volume and collection frequency to confirm whether 1100L is the right size.
