Quick size questions

What size is most popular?

For many household and renovation jobs, 4m³ to 6m³ is a practical starting point.

Should I choose the next size up?

For bulky light waste, moving up one size can help. For concrete, bricks or soil, choose by approved weight limits instead.

Can I fill above the rim?

No. Waste should remain level with or below the top rim so the bin can be transported safely.

Are dimensions exact?

No. The same capacity can have different dimensions and door styles depending on the local supplier.
