What is a 120L wheelie bin?

A 120-litre wheelie bin is a smaller version of the standard UK wheelie bin, designed for easy handling in tight spaces. It holds roughly one to two black sacks of waste, making it perfect for smaller properties, low-waste households, or businesses producing minimal daily waste.
