Redooo - Bin Types

Mobile or Wheelie Bins

Wheelie bins (sometimes called rear lift bins, mobile garbage bins or MGB for short) usually come in one of the following sizes 120L, 240L, 660L or 1,100L. They are particularly useful if you need to move them around your property and in order to make them accessible for collection (in urban surroundings, difficult pick up locations, narrow streets, challenging areas etc.)

In most cases, wheelie bins are manoeuvered to the side or rear of the vehicle, where the bin is placed on a hydraulic lifter. In the vehicle body the waste is compacted in order to maximise vehicle utilisation.

Once the truck is fully loaded, the commodities are transported for further treatment at a transfer station, recycling centre or go to landfill for disposal. Some rear-load vehicles are also fitted with scales that can weigh the waste.

Rear-load vehicles are lower in height than many other waste collection vehicles, making wheelie bins a good choice for areas that have height restrictions, such as underground carparks, or areas with overhead power lines.

120L Rear Lift 545mm(L) x 480mm(W) x 930mm(H)

240L Rear Lift 730mm(L) x 585mm(W) x 1060mm(H)

660L Rear Lift 780mm(L) x 1260mm(W) x 1300mm(H)

1,100L Rear Lift 1070mm(L) x 1240mm(W) x 1330mm(H)

Front Lift Bins

Front-lift bins are generally large steel bins that come in 1.5m³, 3m³ and 4.5m³ sizes. Front-lift bins are one of the most cost effective and robust collection systems and commonly used by small businesses where the bins can be emptied without worrying about overhead collisions with wires or other structures.

Front lift collections are performed where the bins are lifted over the front of the vehicle by hydraulic arms that weigh the bin, emptying waste overhead before being compacted within the vehicle body. Once the vehicle is full, it is transported for disposal via a transfer station to a local landfill or directly to a recycling facility.

1.5m³ Front Lift 1100mm(L) x 2060mm(W) x 1200mm(H)

3m³ Front Lift 1100mm(L) x 2060mm(W) x 1550mm(H)

4.5m³ Front Lift 1480mm(L) x 2050mm(W) x 1850mm(H)

Cages

Cages mostly used for plastics or cardboard start with smaller sizes of 1m³, 2m³ and 3m³, but go all the way up to 15m³ or 25m³.

1m³ Cage 1.0m(L) x 1.0(W) x 1.0(H)

8m³ Cage 1.7m(L) x 2.4(W) x 1.8(H)

15m³ Cage 3.4m(L) x 2.4m(W) x 1.8m(H)

Skip Bins & Crane Bins

Skips and crane bins are most often seen in sizes from 1.5m³ to 8m³. Often you will also find half sizes anywhere in between the regular sizes.

In any case, skips are lifted onto the rear of the truck by a hydraulic arm and locked into place for transport to a landfill or recycling facility. In most cases the contents of the bin are weighed at the receiving facility. Some vehicles may also be fitted with scales.

2m³ Skip 1.9m(L) x 1.6m(W) x 0.9m(H)

3m³ Skip 2.6m(L) x 1.6m(W) x 0.95m(H)

6m³ Skip 3.7m(L) x 1.6m(W) x 1.3m(H)

8m³ Skip 3.7m(L) x 1.6m(W) x 1.6m(H)

Tips

Skip bins are ideal for locations with limited access (side of dwelling) or driveway placement. Consideration should be given to ensure there is sufficient width for the delivery vehicle to reverse to the desired location;
Consider the amount of waste requiring disposal to ensure you select the appropriately sized container. As a guide, each cubic metre (m3) will hold the equivalent of 4 Wheelie Bins or 1.5 (level) 6x4 Trailer Load;
The weight of material being placed into the bin should be given careful consideration. Large amounts of heavy material (soil, bricks etc.) should be limited to smaller containers to ensure weights remain within the legal limit of service vehicles;
Place the skip as close as possible to the waste material to minimise manual handling;

Ensure that the surface is flat and solid. You may need to place wooden blocks on certain surfaces to make sure that the skip is made level;
One of the keys to filling up your skip bin economically is to place flat objects (like plywood etc.) at the bottom of the skip bin first, followed by heavy or bulky items, and then placing lighter items like green waste on top. It’s a good idea to also crush, cut up or break down bigger items if you can, and bulky waste like furniture should be disassembled;
Take care not to fill the container past the rim as this may prevent safe transport of the container;

Roll On / Roll Off bins (Hooklift Bins) & Compactors

Hooklift bins are the biggest bins available and are perfect for large household/business clean-ups, or construction site jobs. They usually come in sizes of 10m³, 15m³, 25m³, 30m³ and in rare cases even 40m³.

Roll On / Roll Off bins and compactors are lifted onto the rear of the truck by a hydraulic hook and locked into place.

10m³ Roll On 6.4m(L) x 2.5m(W) x 1.0m(H)

15m³ Roll On 6.0m(L) x 2.5m(W) x 1.4m(H)

25m³ Roll On 6.4m(L) x 2.5m(W) x 2.15m(H)

40m³ Roll On 7.4m(L) x 2.5m(W) x 2.85m(H)

Special Containers and Waste Types

In addition to providing regular bin services, we are also able to provide specialised waste and recycling services. These include liquid wastes removed by vacuum tanker, such as grease trap cleaning, or oily water removal, or the handling of hazardous wastes, chemicals or other difficult waste streams.

If these waste streams are not listed in your search results, please contact us directly and we will get back to you with a solution.

Grease Trap Cleaning

Found in a various sizes, grease traps are used to stop the flow of grease, fats and oils into the waste water network. Regular maintenance is required which includes clearing blockages, removing excess build up, inspection and cleaning.

Septic Tank Cleaning

Septic tanks require periodical emptying depending on size and usage. A service can include clearing blockages, removing contents and inspection.

Other Liquid Services

These can include oily water, interceptors, waste oil, industrial water, holding tanks, portable toilets and other regulated waste streams. Small or large volumes, contact us today to discuss your requirements.
