Before you order this size
At 1370mm wide this will not go through a standard single doorway or most side gates. Measure your access route and your bin store before ordering, and check the collection vehicle can physically reach the presentation point. A bin you cannot move to the kerb is a bin you are paying for and not using.
660 litre wheelie bin: frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of a 660 litre bin?+
Approximately 1200mm high, 1370mm wide and 780mm 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 660 litre bin?+
Roughly around 8 to 10 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 660 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.
