Before you order this size
The 1100 gives you the best cost per litre of any wheeled bin, but only if you fill it. Because collection is priced per lift rather than per kilo, an 1100 emptied half full is the most expensive way to buy waste collection there is. If you are consistently below about two thirds full, a 660 on the same frequency will almost always cost less.
1100 litre wheelie bin: frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of a 1100 litre bin?+
Approximately 1470mm high, 1370mm wide and 1070mm deep, on 4 wheels. Dimensions vary slightly between manufacturers, so measure your access route and bin store against the actual bin your carrier supplies rather than a generic figure.
How many bin bags fit in a 1100 litre bin?+
Roughly around 14 to 16 standard refuse sacks. That is a working guide rather than a precise figure — how much you actually fit depends on whether your waste is compacted and whether bulky items like unflattened cardboard are going in.
How much does a 1100 litre bin cost to empty?+
Commercial waste is priced per lift, typically £5–£30 per bin per collection depending on size, frequency and waste type. Because you pay per lift rather than per kilo, the number that matters is how full the bin is when it is emptied — not the headline price.
Duty of Care applies to you as the waste producer regardless of bin size or volume. You must use a registered carrier and be able to produce waste transfer notes on request. Questions? Call 0161 470 2343.
