Office Bins
Offices produce all sorts of rubbish. This ranges from food scraps and wrappers left over in the kitchen after lunch to old printer paper and confidential waste. Having the right size and type of office bins in place across your premises helps encourage employees to recycle, which protects the environment and lowers your office’s waste disposal costs.
At Business Waste we can provide a wide range of office bins in various sizes and types. All office bins are delivered for free with no rental or hire charges – you only pay for their collection.

Office bin sizes
Office bins are available in a wide range of sizes to suit all sorts of commercial spaces and volumes of waste produced. Some of the most common office bin sizes are 25, 50, 70, and 90 litres. These are the compact office bins used for general waste and recycling streams at the point of production.
Such small office bins are normally placed around the office and in the kitchen. This makes it convenient for employees to dispose of any leftover food, wrappers, bits of paper, and other rubbish quickly. When these office bins are full they need to be emptied into larger containers that are normally stored outside of the office.
Often larger office bins such as wheelie bins are used to store many bags of waste from the office floor before it’s collected. These are normally kept in a dedicated bay under shelter but outside the office. Popular sizes of bins to store office waste are:
-
120 litre wheelie bins
Small two-wheel bins that can store two to three full bags of waste. Dimensions (0.9m x 0.5m x 0.5m).
-
240 litre wheelie bins
Like the standard-size wheelie bin you have at home that holds three to four bags of waste. Dimensions (1.1m x 0.6m x 0.7m).
-
360 litre wheelie bins
This is the largest two-wheel bin available to store five or six waste bags. Dimensions (1.1m x 0.6m x 0.9m).
-
660 litre wheelie bins
A four-wheel bin suitable for 10 to 12 bags of general waste and dry mixed recycling. Dimensions (1.3m x 0.7m x 1.3m).
-
1100 litre wheelie bins
The 1100 litre bin is the largest wheelie bin available to store up to 18 bags of waste. Dimensions (1.4m x 1.0m x 1.3m).
Types of office
bins and bags

Recycling bins for offices
Office recycling bins are essential to encourage employees to separate their waste and recycle it. Recycling your office waste reduces the amount of rubbish sent to landfill sites, which reduces pollution levels. It also lowers your costs of commercial waste disposal as you’ll pay less landfill tax when using recycling bins in your office.
Small recycling bins can be placed around your office to capture waste paper, cardboard, and mixed recyclable rubbish. These can then be emptied into a bigger wheelie bin for storage outside the office environment. Recycling bins for offices can be used to separate and store waste before it’s recycled, including:
- Dry mixed recycling – mixed paper, cardboard, plastics, and metals.
- Paper – waste printer, photocopier, and all other types of paper.
- Cardboard – all grades of cardboard, like that used for delivery packaging and storage boxes.
- Plastic – many types of plastic waste can be recycled, including some packaging.
- Glass – clean and dry glass bottles and jars from the office kitchen or party.
Office bins are also available to store non-recyclable rubbish such as general waste.

Office bin FAQs
-
How many litres is an office bin?
Office bins are available in many sizes, with most holding between 25 and 90 litres of waste. The best size depends on the type of waste it’s for and how much space is in your office for a bin. Office bins can be emptied into larger 240, 660, and 1100 litre wheelie bins outside before they’re collected.
-
What colour are office bins?
Office bins come in a range of colours. They’re normally black, green, blue, yellow and red. Some office bins may all be black but with different coloured lids. Offices can use various colours of bins to separate recycling types and general waste easily and reduce the risk of contamination.
-
Are office bins free?
At Business Waste we deliver free office bins to offices anywhere in the UK. There are no hire, rental, or delivery charges and you don’t need to buy the office bins. Your business only needs to pay for the collection of the office bins. Prices depend on the type, size, and number of bins, as well as your location and the collection frequency.
-
Who do I contact if my office bins aren’t emptied?
We’re sorry if your office bins aren’t collected and emptied on time. Contact our customer care team by calling 01904 207 120 or email customers@businesswaste.co.uk. One of our friendly and expert customer care team will find out why your office bins weren’t emptied and provide a fast and effective solution.
-
Do office bins come with a lid?
Some office bins come with a lid, while others don’t. A lid is best on any general waste office bins and those used for bits of food waste that can start to smell. Any paper, plastic, cardboard, and dry mixed recycling should be fine in an office bin without a lid.
All wheelie bins we provide where your office bins may be emptied into come with a lid. Some of these wheelie bins are lockable too, for extra security. Speak to our team if you want office bins with lids and they’ll find a solution.
