Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our bin sizes and selection process

How do I know which bin size I need?

Consider the volume of waste you generate, the space available for bin placement, and the type of waste. Our team can provide a personalized recommendation based on your specific requirements. Generally, small businesses start with 240L bins, while larger operations may need 660L or 1100L bins.

Can I change my bin size after starting service?

Yes, we understand that waste needs can change. If you find your current bin is too small or too large, we can easily swap it for a different size. Simply contact our customer service team to arrange a bin exchange with minimal disruption to your service.

How much space do I need for each bin size?

You'll need approximately 1m² for a 240L bin, 1.2m² for a 360L bin, 2m² for a 660L bin, and 3m² for a 1100L bin. Remember to allow additional space for bin access and collection. The area should be flat, accessible, and preferably paved or concreted.

Are there weight limits for the bins?

Yes, each bin has a maximum weight capacity: approximately 60kg for 240L bins, 85kg for 360L bins, 200kg for 660L bins, and 330kg for 1100L bins. Exceeding these limits may result in additional charges or collection issues. For heavy materials, we recommend using multiple smaller bins rather than overloading a single bin.

How often are bins collected?

We offer flexible collection schedules including weekly, twice-weekly, or on-demand services. The optimal frequency depends on your waste volume and type. Food waste typically requires more frequent collection, while general waste or recycling might be collected weekly. We can customize a schedule to suit your specific needs.

Do you offer bin cleaning services?

Yes, we provide professional bin cleaning services to keep your bins hygienic and odor-free. This service is particularly recommended for food waste bins and bins in high-traffic areas. Regular cleaning helps prevent pest issues and maintains a pleasant environment around your waste collection area.
