What is the largest wheelie bin size?

Largest wheelie bin size: three new 1100 litre bins with green lids loaded in a caged tipper

The largest wheelie bin size is 1100 litres, a four-wheeled bin about 1.40 m tall and 1.26 m wide, and it holds roughly 15 standard bin bags. Larger containers exist, but they are not wheelie bins: anything bigger is a skip, a roll-on container or a compactor, which needs a lorry with lifting gear rather than a bin lift. For most London businesses an 1100 is the top of the range, and a site that fills one every day either takes two or moves to more frequent lifts. Below it the sizes are 660, 360, 240 and 110 litres.
