1100 litre

1100L wheelie bins

A 1100L bin is the biggest size of commercial waste bin we offer for collection – perfect for businesses producing lots of waste or wanting them emptying less often. You can store more bags and a greater weight of certain waste types than our 240 and 660 litre options.

As their name hints, each one has four wheels so you can move them around effortlessly both inside and outside. They’re ideal for businesses with enough external storage space and with Bins.co.uk you can arrange collection on a weekly or fortnightly basis. Plus, you only pay for the collection – no bin rental or delivery charges.

Understand more about this bin and its uses to work out whether a 1100L wheelie bin is right for your organisation.

How big is a 1100L bin?

1100L bin dimensions are 1.40m height x 1.26m width x 1.00m depth. Funnily enough, it can hold a maximum of 1100 litres of waste, though the exact weight limits depend on the type of waste you’re disposing of.

It’s a very large wheelie bin but has four castor wheels so you can move it around with ease to where you need it filling with waste and collecting. Due to its large size, it can be best for businesses with enough outside space to store such a big wheelie bin.

How many bags can a 1100 litre bin hold?

You can fit between 15 and 18 bags of waste inside a 1100 litre wheelie bin. This assumes you’re using standard 65 litre bin bags – with other sizes you might get more or fewer bags in it. However many bags you fit in, the contents must be compactable as a compactor vehicle collects your waste.

What types of commercial waste can I put in a 1100L wheelie bin?

The main types of business waste you can store in a 1100 litre wheelie bin includes:

• General waste – non-recyclable plastics, wrappers, and more
• Dry mixed recycling (DMR) – plastics, paper, and cans
• Cardboard waste – sheets, boxes, and packaging

You can also use 1100L wheelie bins for industrial and commercial waste that you can compact down. If you need more than one 1100L bin you can get them in seven different colours for easy recycling and waste management.

However, you cannot put glass in a 1100L bin or use it for just food waste (though food refuse can be thrown in with general waste). If you need a standalone bin for glass or food waste, request a 240 litre wheelie bin.

What are the weight limits for 1100 litre wheelie bins?

Even though the 1100L bin size is always the same, the weight limits differ depending on the type of waste it’s holding. Weight restrictions help avoid health and safety issues when collecting the bins, ensure they’re used correctly and can be easily moved around. The main weight limits for 1100L wheelie bins are:

• 35kg – Dry mixed recycling, cardboard waste
• 65kg – General waste

How often can I get a 1100L bin collected?

It’s possible to get 1100 litre wheelie bins collected every week or fortnight. At Bins.co.uk we can arrange collection across the UK, however often you need them emptying. Choose the frequency of collections based on the amount of waste your business produces, number of bins you require and your general needs.
