The smallest common commercial wheelie bin — about 3–4 bin bags. Ideal for small offices, salons and shops. Compare collection prices free.
A 240 litre wheelie bin is the standard small commercial container: roughly three to four black bags, similar in footprint to a large household bin but on a business contract. It is the right starting point for low-volume premises. Stratos Environmental Ltd compares licensed collections for 240L general waste and recycling so small sites are not pushed into an oversized 1100L.
If you overflow a 240L every week, step up to a 360L or collect twice weekly rather than leaving side waste (which gets charged).
As a rough guide, 240L general waste is often around £6–£12 per collection excluding VAT and standing charges. See our prices guide and size guide.
