Product Description
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
- It depends on the volume and type of waste your site generates. A 240-litre bin suits medium-output operations well as a general waste or recycling container positioned externally. High-volume sites — busy restaurants, event catering operations, or large hospitality venues — often require multiple bins or a step up to a larger capacity format.
- The polyethylene construction is practical for general waste and dry recyclables, but dedicated food waste collection typically requires a lined bin or a purpose-designed caddy system. If you are managing wet or organic waste, it is worth checking your local authority or collection contractor's requirements before allocating this bin to that stream.
- The 240-litre format is a standard size compatible with the majority of commercial and municipal collection vehicles operating in the UK. If your contractor uses specialist vehicles or a non-standard lift system, it is worth confirming compatibility with them directly before purchase.
