A 240L bin can typically hold approximately:

  • 3-4 standard garbage bags of household waste
  • A small furniture item (e.g., bedside table or chair) when disassembled
  • Approximately 6-8 bags of garden waste (leaves, grass clippings)

Pro Tip: To maximize your bin space, break down boxes, compact soft materials, and cut larger items into smaller pieces when possible. Remember never to overfill your bin beyond the lid closure point.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our 240L bins

Is a 240L bin big enough for my household?

A 240L bin is typically sufficient for 1-2 person households with average waste output. If you regularly have more waste or have a larger household, you might want to consider our 360L or larger options.

How much space do I need for a 240L bin?

A 240L bin has a footprint of approximately 730mm x 580mm (width x depth), so you'll need a flat area of at least this size, plus some additional space for maneuvering the bin for collection.

Can I change to a larger bin if my needs change?

Yes, we understand that waste needs can change over time. You can upgrade to a larger bin size at any time by contacting our customer service team. We'll arrange for the exchange on your next collection day.

How much weight can a 240L bin hold?

A 240L bin can safely hold up to approximately 96kg of general waste. For heavier materials like soil or concrete, the bin should only be filled to about 1/3 capacity to prevent exceeding weight limits.
