Wheelie Bin Hire with Scheduled Collections

Business and site wheelie bins from 240 to 1,100 litres, delivered and emptied on a schedule by licensed suppliers in our network.

Wheelie bin hire provides wheeled containers – from 240 litre two-wheeled bins up to 1,100 litre four-wheeled bins – that are delivered to your premises and emptied on a regular schedule. It is the standard way for businesses, sites and multi-occupancy buildings to handle ongoing waste and recycling without the space, permits or cost of keeping a skip on site.

Waste Cloud arranges wheelie bin hire across England, Scotland and Wales through licensed waste carriers in our network. Our specialist sister site WheelieBinHire.com focuses solely on bin hire if you want more detail on container options. Call 0333 121 1056 or request a quote.

What we need to know

To quote accurately and match you with the right supplier, your enquiry captures:

  • Bin size – 240, 360, 660 or 1,100 litres, or tell us your volume and we will suggest a size
  • Waste type – general waste, mixed recycling, glass, food, cardboard or another stream
  • Number of containers – for each waste type
  • Collection frequency – how often each bin needs emptying
  • Site access – where the bins will be kept, any steps, gates, codes or restricted hours, and where the collection vehicle can stop

Wheelie bins or a skip?

A skip suits a burst of waste over days or weeks, such as a refit. Wheelie bins suit waste that is produced steadily and indefinitely. They fit in bin stores and yards, can be wheeled to the kerb for emptying, need no road permit, and make separating recycling straightforward. For a short project at a business, a commercial skip alongside your regular bins is common. On construction sites, bins can handle welfare and canteen waste while builders skips take the building waste.

Choosing sizes and frequency

Start from how much waste you produce each week. A small office may manage with a 360 litre general waste bin and a 240 litre recycling bin; a busy restaurant may need several 1,100 litre bins and a separate food waste bin collected more than once a week. If bins overflow, waste left beside them can attract pests and may breach your duty of care, so it is better to step up size or frequency.

Recycling and compliance

Workplace recycling rules in England, Wales and Scotland expect most businesses to separate key recyclables and, in many cases, food waste. Hiring separate bins for each stream is the simplest way to comply. See commercial waste collection for an overview of the rules in each nation.
