Charles Bentley

This 240-litre wheelie bin from Charles Bentley is a straightforward, practical waste container intended for general commercial and operational use. Moulded from high-density polyethylene, it is the standard format used across a wide range of premises — from kitchens and food service sites to warehouses, schools, and hospitality venues — wherever a reliable, large-capacity bin is needed for routine waste collection.

In a catering environment, a bin of this size is commonly positioned in a rear yard, loading bay, or external waste store rather than within the kitchen itself. It handles general waste, cardboard, and non-hazardous packaging well, and the 240-litre capacity is a practical match for medium-volume operations that generate significant daily waste but don't require the step up to a larger 360-litre format.

The polyethylene construction resists UV degradation, frost, and everyday chemical exposure, which matters for bins kept outdoors year-round. Rear-mounted wheels and a moulded handle make it straightforward to move when full, and at 15.5kg empty it is manageable without being flimsy.

• Durable in outdoor conditions — resistant to UV, frost, and chemical contact
• Rear wheels and handle allow easy repositioning when loaded
• Colour-coded blue finish supports waste segregation where required
• Compatible with standard municipal and commercial collection vehicles
• Lightweight enough for one person to manoeuvre safely

The blue colour coding is useful where sites operate a segregated waste system — it helps staff and collection teams identify recycling or specific waste streams at a glance.

If you are unsure whether this size is right for your waste volumes, or need guidance on how many bins to specify for your site, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Charles Bentley Bulldozer Broom is a wide-head floor broom designed for the kind of daily heavy use that commercial kitchens, back-of-house corridors, and service areas demand. The 610mm sweeping head combines stiff and soft bristles in the same head, allowing it to lift both coarser debris — food waste, grit, packaging fragments — and finer dust particles in a single pass.

In a working kitchen environment, the mixed-bristle construction means staff are not switching between brooms for different tasks or floor conditions. The broom works across hard floor surfaces including stone, sealed concrete, tile, and laminate, which makes it practical for kitchens with multiple adjoining areas such as prep rooms, dry stores, and service corridors.

A few practical advantages worth noting for kitchen operators:

• Wide 610mm head reduces the number of passes needed to clear larger floor areas
• Mixed bristle profile handles both food debris and fine dust without changing equipment
• Suitable across common commercial hard floor types — no need for separate brooms by zone
• Neoprene handle grip helps maintain control during extended cleaning shifts
• Lightweight at 1.5kg, reducing fatigue during end-of-service floor cleans

At 1.5kg, the broom is light enough to use comfortably over longer cleaning periods, which matters when end-of-service floor cleaning is being carried out quickly under time pressure. The neoprene handle provides a firmer grip than a bare plastic or wooden handle, which is useful on surfaces where dust or moisture is present.

This broom is well suited to small and medium kitchen operations where a single general-purpose floor broom covers most daily cleaning needs. For larger sites with extensive floor areas or very heavy debris loads, a heavier-duty or wider-head option may be worth considering. If you are unsure which broom suits your kitchen layout and floor type, the team is happy to point you in the right direction.

This 120-litre black wheelie bin from Charles Bentley is a straightforward outdoor waste container made from polyethylene. It is the size most commonly used for general refuse collection at commercial premises, sitting between smaller site bins and the larger 240-litre bins used where waste volumes are higher.

Polyethylene construction makes the bin resistant to UV exposure, frost, and contact with cleaning chemicals, which matters in a back-of-house or yard environment where bins take year-round punishment from the weather and regular hosing down. It holds its shape and colour over time without becoming brittle or cracking under typical outdoor conditions.

• Rear-mounted wheels allow easy movement even when the bin is fully loaded
• Comfortable handle gives a secure grip when manoeuvring on uneven surfaces
• Resistant to UV, frost, and common cleaning chemicals
• Hinged lid keeps waste contained and reduces odour in service yards
• Compatible with standard kerbside collection vehicles

For smaller catering operations, a single 120-litre bin is often sufficient for a daily collection cycle, though busier kitchens or those producing significant food waste alongside general refuse may find they need more than one. If your site generates higher volumes, a 240-litre bin or a set of bins split by waste stream is worth considering.

Installation is minimal — the bin arrives ready to use and requires no fixings or assembly beyond attaching the lid and wheels if delivered flat-packed. It is best positioned on a hard, level surface in an area accessible to collection vehicles.

If you are unsure how many bins your site needs or which capacity suits your collection schedule, we are happy to talk it through.

This Charles Bentley grit bin is a straightforward, practical solution for storing salt and grit at commercial and hospitality premises. The bright yellow colouring makes it easily identifiable, and the 200 litre capacity means there is enough storage for a meaningful supply of de-icing material — sufficient to service car parks, delivery areas, and pedestrian walkways throughout an extended cold spell without constant refilling.

In practice, having a properly stocked grit bin close to main entrances and high-footfall external areas is one of the more effective ways to reduce the risk of slip-and-fall incidents during icy conditions. The bin is supplied with a snow shovel, which makes it straightforward for staff to apply grit quickly during or after a frost without needing to source separate tools.

The construction is heavy-duty plastic, which holds up well outdoors over repeated winter seasons. It resists cracking under cold temperatures and does not corrode — a practical advantage over metal alternatives in exposed positions.

• Large capacity reduces how often the bin needs refilling during prolonged cold weather
• Supplied snow shovel means staff can act immediately without hunting for equipment
• Bright yellow colouring helps staff locate the bin quickly in poor conditions
• Durable plastic construction suitable for permanent outdoor placement
• Lidded design keeps contents dry and prevents salt clumping

This bin is well suited to pubs, restaurants, hotels, care homes, and other commercial premises where managing external pedestrian safety is a routine winter responsibility. For larger sites with multiple access points — such as distribution yards or large retail premises — it is worth considering whether more than one unit, or a higher-capacity option, would better cover the area.

If you are unsure how many bins you need or where best to position them for your site layout, our team is happy to talk it through.

This 240-litre green wheelie bin is a straightforward, practical waste container suited to commercial premises where a reliable, large-capacity bin is needed for general refuse or recycling. Made from durable plastic, it is built to withstand regular outdoor use, including exposure to weather and the daily demands of a busy service yard or waste collection point.

In a commercial context, a 240-litre bin is the standard capacity most commonly used by restaurants, pubs, catering facilities, and food production sites for general waste or segregated recycling streams. It handles the kind of daily volume that a mid-sized kitchen or hospitality operation generates between collections without needing to be emptied mid-service.

The practical advantages for operators are straightforward:

• Hard-wearing plastic construction resists cracking and is easy to hose down
• Two large wheels allow the bin to be moved across yard surfaces with minimal effort
• Standard 240-litre capacity aligns with most local authority and commercial collection schedules
• Hinged lid helps contain odours and keeps out pests between collections
• Green colour supports waste segregation practices in line with recycling requirements

Being a freestanding outdoor bin, no installation is required. It is worth confirming with your waste contractor that the colour coding aligns with your local collection scheme before ordering, as colour assignments for waste streams can vary by region and provider.

This bin is well suited to single-site operations with moderate daily waste output. Sites generating significantly higher volumes, or those managing multiple segregated streams, may find a larger or additional unit more practical.

If you are organising a waste management setup across a site and want to talk through what capacity and configuration would work best, we are happy to help.

This 120-litre yellow wheelie bin from Charles Bentley is a straightforward, robust waste container designed for outdoor use at commercial premises. The yellow colouring is commonly used in waste segregation systems to indicate a specific waste stream, which can help staff sort and dispose of waste correctly without additional signage.

Constructed from polyethylene, the bin holds up well in outdoor conditions throughout the year. The material is resistant to UV exposure, frost, and common cleaning chemicals, so the shell does not become brittle or discolour with prolonged outdoor use — a practical consideration for bins that will sit outside a kitchen or service entrance in all weathers.

For day-to-day handling, the bin is reasonably straightforward to move even when loaded, thanks to the rear wheels and ergonomic handle. At 11.3kg empty, it is manageable for most staff without assistance.

• Yellow colour supports colour-coded waste segregation
• UV, frost and chemical-resistant polyethylene construction
• Rear wheels and handle for straightforward manoeuvring
• Suitable for outdoor placement away from food preparation areas
• Robust enough for year-round external use

This size works well for smaller commercial operations — cafés, small restaurants, or back-of-house service areas — where waste volumes are moderate. Busier sites or those managing higher waste output may find a larger capacity bin more practical for reducing the frequency of emptying.

If you are setting up a colour-coded waste system across a site or need guidance on matching bin capacity to your service volume, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

This 240-litre wheelie bin from Charles Bentley is a straightforward, heavy-duty waste container made from polyethylene. The yellow colour makes it well suited to colour-coded waste segregation systems, which are commonly used in commercial kitchens, food production sites and hospitality premises to separate general waste, recycling or specific waste streams at a glance.

In practice, a 240-litre bin handles the waste output of a moderately busy kitchen or back-of-house service area without needing to be emptied constantly during a shift. The rear-mounted wheels allow it to be moved even when fully loaded, which is useful when repositioning between prep areas, loading bays or external storage. The polyethylene construction resists knocks, chemical exposure, frost and UV degradation, so it holds up well in outdoor yard areas or unheated stores.

• Colour-coded yellow supports waste segregation compliance
• Rear wheels allow easy relocation when fully laden
• Resistant to chemicals, frost and UV exposure for outdoor use
• Durable polyethylene construction withstands everyday commercial use
• Lid keeps waste contained and reduces odour in service areas

It is worth considering how many bins your site requires based on waste volume and collection frequency. A single 240-litre bin may be sufficient for a small café or pub kitchen, while larger operations or sites with infrequent collections will typically need several. If your operation generates significantly higher waste volumes, a larger-capacity bin may be more practical.

If you are setting up a waste management system across a larger site or need guidance on matching bin capacity to your collection schedule, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Charles Bentley 240-litre red wheelie bin is a heavy-duty polyethylene outdoor waste container, designed for use wherever a reliable, clearly identifiable bin is needed. The red colouring makes it straightforward to implement colour-coded waste segregation systems — a practical requirement in catering and hospitality environments where different waste streams need to be kept separate consistently.

Polyethylene construction gives this bin good resistance to UV exposure, frost, and chemical contact, which matters for bins that are left outside throughout the year. It holds up well under regular daily use and is not prone to cracking or discolouring in the way cheaper materials can be over time.

• Colour-coded red finish supports clear waste stream segregation
• UV, frost, and chemical resistant — suitable for year-round outdoor use
• Two rear-mounted wheels allow easy repositioning without lifting
• Comfortable handle for controlled manoeuvring on uneven surfaces
• Robust polyethylene body withstands routine commercial handling

The two rear-mounted wheels and integrated handle make repositioning straightforward, even when the bin is heavily loaded. This is a practical consideration for back-of-house areas where bins are moved regularly to accommodate deliveries or collections. The bin is suitable for ground-level outdoor placement; it is not designed for internal use where enclosed or ventilated waste storage is required by regulation.

This bin is well suited to pubs, restaurants, hotels, care homes, and similar sites that need compliant, clearly colour-coded waste handling outside. For higher-volume operations or sites requiring multiple bins across a large yard, it is worth considering whether a managed set of different capacities would serve better. If you are unsure which combination of bin sizes and colours suits your waste contractor's requirements, the team is happy to help you work through it.

This 120-litre blue wheelie bin from Charles Bentley is a straightforward, practical waste container made from polyethylene and intended for outdoor use in commercial settings. The blue colour coding makes it easy to designate for a specific waste stream — commonly used for general recyclables — which helps keep waste handling organised on busy sites.

Built to sit outside year-round, the bin is resistant to UV light, frost, and chemical exposure, so it holds up well in exposed service yard environments without becoming brittle or discoloured over time. The rear-mounted wheels and handle make it manageable to move when full, which matters in busy kitchen or hospitality environments where waste needs to be shifted quickly during or after service.

Practically speaking, this bin works well for a number of back-of-house and external waste management applications:

• Colour-coded for clear waste stream identification
• Suitable for permanent outdoor positioning in all weather
• Easy to move between collection points with rear wheels and handle
• Resistant to cleaning chemicals used in commercial yard maintenance
• Compatible with standard kerbside and commercial waste collection lorries

It is worth noting that at 120 litres, this bin suits lower-to-moderate waste volumes. Sites generating high volumes of a single waste type — such as large hotel kitchens or central production units — may find a larger capacity bin better suited to their collection frequency. For mixed-use yards or supplementary colour-coded waste separation, this size is a practical and cost-effective choice.

If you are unsure how many bins you need or how to structure your waste streams, the team is happy to talk it through.

This 120 litre red wheelie bin from Charles Bentley is a straightforward, robust solution for outdoor waste collection at commercial premises. Made from polyethylene, it is commonly used in catering and hospitality environments for separating general waste from food preparation and service areas, keeping odours and hygiene risks away from the building interior.

The polyethylene construction holds up well in outdoor conditions — it resists UV exposure, frost, and incidental contact with cleaning chemicals, which matters for bins kept in yards, service areas, or external storage. The 120 litre capacity suits moderate daily waste volumes, and the rear wheels and handle make it practical to move even when loaded, without requiring two people.

In practical terms, a bin of this size works well for smaller catering operations, takeaways, cafés, or as a secondary bin alongside larger capacity units on higher-volume sites. The red colour aids waste segregation where operations use a colour-coded system, helping staff identify the correct bin at a glance.

• Colour-coded red for clear waste stream identification
• Resistant to UV, frost, and chemical exposure for outdoor use
• Rear wheels and handle allow single-person movement when full
• Suitable for general waste separation in catering environments

It is worth considering whether 120 litres meets your daily output before ordering — operations with higher waste volumes or less frequent collections may find a larger capacity bin more practical. For sites with multiple waste streams, several bins used together can support a straightforward segregation system.

If you are unsure which size or quantity suits your site, we are happy to talk it through.

This 240-litre black wheelie bin from Charles Bentley is a straightforward, practical solution for managing bulk waste in commercial environments. Made from polyethylene, it is designed to handle the kind of regular, heavy use that comes with busy kitchen and service yard operations.

In a working kitchen or hospitality setting, waste accumulates quickly during service. Having adequate external bin capacity means kitchen staff are not making repeated trips to clear internal bins mid-service, which keeps workflow cleaner and reduces the risk of waste building up in food preparation areas. A 240-litre capacity is well suited to small and medium-sized operations as a primary external bin, or to larger sites as part of a multi-bin arrangement.

Practical day-to-day advantages include:

• Rear-mounted wheels make it manageable even when fully loaded
• Polyethylene construction resists cracking and general outdoor wear
• Hinged lid helps contain odours and discourages pests
• Black finish suits service yards and external storage areas
• Lightweight enough for kitchen porters and cleaning staff to handle

It is worth considering your collection requirements before purchasing. Most local authority and waste contractor collections are aligned to standard 240-litre bins, but it is worth confirming this with your waste provider. For sites generating significantly higher waste volumes, a larger-capacity bin or a multi-bin setup is likely to be more practical.

This bin is a reliable choice for cafés, small restaurants, pubs, care homes, and similar operations needing dependable external waste containment without unnecessary complexity. If you are unsure whether a single bin covers your site's needs or want to discuss a waste management setup more broadly, our team is happy to help you think it through.

This 120-litre green wheelie bin from Charles Bentley is a straightforward, hard-wearing waste container made from durable plastic. It is commonly used for general waste or recycling collection in commercial premises, and the green colour makes it easy to integrate into colour-coded waste management systems.

In a commercial setting — whether a pub yard, hotel service area, catering prep space, or similar — this bin handles daily use reliably. The plastic construction resists knocks and exposure to outdoor conditions, and the smooth interior makes it straightforward to clean down between emptying cycles. Two large rear wheels allow a single person to manoeuvre it across level and slightly uneven surfaces without difficulty.

• Colour-coded green finish suits recycling or general waste designation
• Large rear wheels aid movement across yards and service areas
• Smooth internal surfaces make cleaning and decontamination practical
• Durable plastic withstands regular outdoor use and daily handling
• Hinged lid helps contain odours and keeps contents covered

At 120 litres, this bin is well suited to smaller operations or as one of several units across a larger site. Businesses generating higher volumes of waste may find they need multiple units or a larger-capacity alternative. It is worth considering the collection frequency of your waste contractor when deciding how many bins a site requires.

If you are putting together a waste management setup across a new or refurbished site, the team is happy to talk through what would work best for your setup.

This is a large-capacity plastic wheelie bin designed for high-volume waste collection in commercial environments. The flat top lid design makes it straightforward to stack items on top during service or when bins are waiting to be emptied, and the green colour is commonly used to designate general waste streams in line with waste segregation practices.

At 1100 litres, this bin is suited to sites that generate significant volumes of waste — catering operations, event venues, food production facilities, and large hospitality sites where a standard 240 or 360 litre bin would need emptying too frequently to be practical. Four castors provide good mobility across yard surfaces or flat waste store floors, and the side handles give additional control when positioning or moving the bin in tighter spaces.

Practical operational advantages include:

• Large 1100 litre capacity reduces the frequency of emptying during busy periods
• Four castors for straightforward repositioning across flat or smooth surfaces
• Side handles support controlled manoeuvring in confined yard areas
• Flat lid design allows temporary stacking without obstructing bin access
• Green colour supports clear waste stream identification on site

It is worth noting that at 65kg this bin is substantial even when empty, and the overall footprint is considerable — allow adequate space in your waste storage area before ordering. It is also suited to relatively level ground; heavily uneven or cobbled surfaces may limit how effectively the castors perform.

This bin is best suited to high-throughput catering operations, production kitchens, or event caterers where waste volume is a genuine operational challenge. Smaller sites producing more modest daily waste may find a lower-capacity bin more manageable. If you are unsure which size suits your output, we are happy to help you work it out before you order.
