Bags or bins for commercial waste?

Bags or bins for commercial waste: Capital Recycle sacks beside a bin housing outside flats

Bags or bins for commercial waste comes down to space and volume: bags if you have no room, bins if you have a yard. A sack service needs no storage space, no bin on the street and no fixed collection day: you put out what you have and pay per sack. A wheelie bin costs less per litre once you fill it every week, keeps waste contained and lidded, and suits a kitchen or a shop with a bin store. A rough line: under 10 sacks a week, stay on sacks; above that, a 660 or 1100 litre bin on a weekly lift is cheaper. Many customers run both: a bin for general waste and sacks for recycling.
