360-Litre Wheelie Bin Hire in Manchester
One size up from the standard bin: extra room, still on two wheels, for Manchester businesses with too much waste for a 240-litre bin and too little space for a big container.
Sitting between the standard 240-litre bin and the big four-wheeled containers, the 360-litre wheelie bin takes around five to six standard bin bags while keeping the simple two-wheel design.
Manchester businesses with moderate volumes get the most from it: a growing office in Sale, a small Northern Quarter restaurant or a busy convenience store in Eccles. Skips Manchester sets up 360-litre bin hire for you.
Weighing up sizes? Every option is laid out on our commercial bin hire page.
We cover Manchester and the wider Greater Manchester area, and how often the bin is emptied is settled with you at set-up. We provide a waste transfer note for your collections.
The handy in-between size
On Manchester’s older streets, where bins live in back alleys or narrow ginnels, a lot of premises can fit a two-wheeled bin but have no room for a big four-wheeled container. A 360-litre bin holds roughly 50% more than a 240-litre one yet takes up only a little extra space.
Cardboard, mixed recycling and general waste all suit it, as does glass when there is enough of it.
For a business whose weekly waste is steady without being heavy, it makes a dependable all-rounder.
Working out your bin set-up
Workplaces in England are expected to keep dry recyclables and food waste out of general waste, and glass usually gets a bin of its own. For a shop or small restaurant, a typical arrangement could be:
- A 360-litre bin for mixed recycling
- A 360-litre bin for general waste
- If required, a smaller bin for food waste or glass
Should your 360-litre bins fill up week after week, moving to a 660-litre bin could cut the number of containers on site.
If your volumes change, sizes can normally be reviewed.

360-Litre Wheelie Bins – your questions answered
Can’t see your question? Call 0333 121 1056 or send us a message.
What can a 360-litre bin hold?
Around five to six standard bin bags, depending on the packing – roughly 50% more than a 240-litre bin takes. Businesses with a steady, moderate amount of waste find it a good match.
Is a 360-litre bin hard to move?
Like a standard bin it runs on two wheels, and one person can usually handle it. With glass and other heavy materials, watch the weight and don’t overfill. Make sure the path to the collection point stays clear.
Can different waste streams have different bin sizes?
They can. A common approach is a bigger bin for recycling or general waste alongside a smaller one for food or glass. We’ll help you balance sizes and collection frequency.
