1,100L Wheelie Bins: Maximum-Capacity Waste Containers for Commercial Use
1,100-litre wheelie bins are the largest standard-sized waste containers used across the UK for industrial, commercial, and municipal applications. At BINBASE, we supply robust, high-capacity 1,100L bins engineered for demanding environments — ideal for factories, warehouses, apartment complexes, and large-scale facilities needing efficient, compliant waste management.
What is a 1,100L wheelie bin?
A 1,100-litre wheelie bin is a heavy-duty, four-wheeled waste container designed to hold up to 15–18 standard refuse sacks. Constructed from reinforced, UV-stabilised polyethylene, these bins are built for strength, stability, and long service life in high-traffic commercial or industrial areas. They are compatible with standard comb- and trunnion-lift systems used by UK waste collection vehicles.
