Front-Lift Bins for Warehouses and Centres

Front-lift bins lower the cost per litre when volumes are steady. Use this guide to match bin size and lifts to your site.

Bin sizes that work

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

Lifts per week (starting point)

• Predictable warehouse waste: 2 lifts/week for 3.0m3; adjust after two weeks of data.
• Shopping centre tenants: 1-2 lifts/week for 1.5m3 or 3.0m3 depending on volume.
• Cardboard-heavy sites: add a separate cardboard stream; cheaper than mixing.

Keep service smooth

• Ensure lids close flat; overfilled bins can be charged as double lifts.
• Keep access clear for tines; avoid parking in front of bin bays.
• Lock bins if illegal dumping is common.
