660 Litre Wheelie Bin

A mid-size commercial wheelie bin — about 8–10 bags. Common for restaurants, pubs and busy retail. Compare prices free.

A 660 litre bin is the workhorse for many hospitality and retail sites: large enough for a busy week, small enough to manoeuvre in a rear yard. It is often the sweet spot before jumping to an 1100L. Stratos Environmental compares 660L general, recycling, food and glass collections.

Capacity and typical use

If you need a bin this size but cannot store it, consider two 360L bins or more frequent collections rather than leaving an 1100L on the pavement.

Indicative cost

Typical general waste is often around £14–£26 per collection excluding VAT. Details: prices guide.

Frequently asked questions

Is 660L or 1100L better for a restaurant?

If you fill 660L comfortably with room to spare, stay there. If it overflows or you need daily collection of a stuffed 660L, 1100L or a second bin is usually cheaper than constant extras.

Can I mix recycling in a 660L general bin?

You can physically, but you shouldn't — Simpler Recycling requires separation, and recycling is usually cheaper in its own bin.

Do 660L bins need a flat collection point?

They should sit on hard standing and be accessible for a lifting vehicle. Steps, gravel and locked alleys cause missed collections.
