Front Lift Bin Hire: Sizes, Pricing & Service Guide 2026

Front-lift bins suit steady commercial volumes. Use this quick guide to pick a size, set lifts, and avoid surprise charges.

Which size to pick

• 1.5m3: Light industrial or medium retail back rooms; good starter size.
• 3.0m3: Standard for warehouses, logistics hubs, and larger retailers.
• 4.5m3: High volume sites with clear drive-up access and predictable waste.

How many lifts per week

• Start at 2 lifts/week for 3.0m3; adjust after two weeks of fullness checks.
• If bins are under 60% for two weeks, drop a lift; if over 80%, add a lift before upsizing.
• Align lifts to delivery peaks to keep docks clear.

Keep costs predictable

• Lids must close flat; overfills can be charged as double lifts.
• Separate cardboard and metals where possible; it reduces general waste lifts.
• Keep access clear for tines; blocked bays often trigger return fees.
