Large Commercial Waste Bins

Large waste bins are ideal for businesses that produce lots of general waste and recycling. Their greater volume means you need fewer bins to store waste on-site and you can book less frequent removals to save money on your commercial waste collections. At Business Waste we provide a wide range of large bins to suit your needs.

Get free large bins delivered to your business – you only cover the collection costs. There are no delivery fees or rental charges. Simply select the large commercial waste bins you need, and our licensed waste carriers will bring them to your organisation anywhere in the UK.

Big wheelie bins

Larger wheelie bins can suit businesses that produce regular volumes of general waste or dry recycling but do not need a static industrial container. Options include 360L, 660L and 1100L bins.

240-litre wheelie bins are the standard two-wheel bins used domestically. While these suit the waste management needs of many organisations, there are other large wheelie bins available to store extra waste in a moveable container. Find the right big wheelie bin for your needs with the following options:

  • 360 litre wheelie bins

    The largest two-wheel bins can store up to six bags of waste.

    green waste
  • 660 litre wheelie bins

    A four-wheel bin for storing up to around 12 bags of waste.

  • 1100 litre wheelie bins

    This is the biggest wheelie bin that holds up to 18 full waste bags.

Large industrial bins

Larger static containers require suitable site access for specialist collection vehicles. How they are emptied or removed depends on the container type: front and rear end loaders are normally emptied on site, while skips and roll on roll offs are typically removed or exchanged when collected.

Larger static containers need more storage space and vehicle access than wheelie bins. Choose from the following types of large industrial bins:

  • Front end loaders

    A large metal bin that can hold up to 80 bags of waste.

  • Rear end loaders

    This large metal bin can store up to 160 bags of waste.

  • Balers

    general waste
  • Compactors

  • Skips

    Different skip sizes can hold various waste types and amounts.

Large recycling bins

Larger bins can be used for separate recyclable waste streams where the material and container are compatible. Common examples include cardboard, paper, plastic and dry mixed recycling.

The suitable container depends on the waste type, volume, weight and collection setup. Glass and food waste generally use smaller dedicated containers.

  • 240 litre wheelie bins – the largest option for a standalone glass recycling bin.
  • 660 litre wheelie bins – ideal for cardboard, paper, and mixed recycling.
  • 1100 litre wheelie bins – the biggest wheelie bin can store 18 bags of dry mixed recycling.
  • Front end loader – these hold high volumes of dry mixed recycling and metal recycling.
  • Balers – compact and reduce the volume of cardboard recycling to save space.

When is a larger commercial bin useful?

A larger container can reduce the number of separate bins needed where your site has enough storage space and vehicle access. Where waste volumes justify the capacity, a larger bin may reduce the number of collections or smaller containers needed. Actual costs depend on container type, waste stream, location and collection frequency.

Container capacity and permitted load weight are separate. Heavy or dense materials may reach the collection weight limit before a large bin is full. Choosing sufficient capacity can reduce the risk of overflowing bins between collections.

What can you put in large bins?

What you can put in a large commercial bin depends on the container, waste type and permitted load weight. Many large wheelie bins, FELs, RELs, skips and RoRos can store suitable general waste or dry recyclable materials, but not every container accepts every stream.

However, general waste and many types of recyclable rubbish can go in all sorts of large commercial waste bins. Check on the specific bin page or with our expert team if you’re unsure what a specific big bin can be used to store.

Common large-bin streams include:

  • General waste
  • Dry mixed recycling
  • Cardboard
  • Paper
  • Suitable plastics
  • Selected bulky or industrial materials where agreed

Arrange large commercial bin delivery and collection

One-off and scheduled collections are available depending on the container and waste stream. The relevant Duty of Care paperwork is included at no additional charge.
