How big is a 240 litre wheelie bin?

A 240 litre wheelie bin is about 1.07 m tall, 0.58 m wide and 0.74 m deep, on two wheels. Exact figures vary by manufacturer by a centimetre or two, so measure the gap before you order if it has to fit through a doorway or into a cupboard. It holds roughly 3 standard bin bags and is the smallest commercial wheelie bin, suited to a salon, studio, small office or a single low-volume shop. If you fill it more than once a week, a 360 litre bin is the same width and only 3 cm taller, or move up to a 660.
