Cardboard recycling bins
Cardboard recycling bins for every volume — 240L to 3m³
Choosing the right bin is the difference between a tidy loading bay and boxes piled up beside a full one. Recyco supplies four sizes, from a 240L wheelie bin to a 3m³ front-lift bin, and helps you pick the one that matches your real volumes.
240L and 660L wheelie bins
Compact bins for sites that only make a few boxes a week: small offices, clinics, cafés and shops. A 240L is the size of a household recycling bin; a 660L holds nearly three times as much and still fits through a standard doorway into most storerooms.
1100L wheelie bin
The standard commercial wheelie bin. It fits most laneways, storerooms and loading bays, can be wheeled out by staff, and suits retail, hospitality, offices and light commercial sites.
3m³ high-capacity bin
Our heavy-duty option for sites that produce cardboard all day. It holds roughly 2.7 1100L bins’ worth and needs clear truck access. Ideal for warehouses, manufacturers and distribution centres.

FAQ
Cardboard recycling bins FAQs
What size cardboard recycling bin does my business need?
Small offices, clinics and cafés often suit a 240L or 660L wheelie bin. Most busy shops and venues suit an 1100L wheelie bin collected weekly or fortnightly. Warehouses, manufacturers and distributors that flatten cartons daily usually need a 3m³ high-capacity bin, which holds about 2.7 times as much as an 1100L.
Do you supply the bins?
Yes. Bins are supplied and serviced by Recyco as part of your collection service.
Can I change bin size later?
Yes. If you’re overflowing or the bin is half-empty on pickup day, we’ll swap the size or change the frequency.
What access does a 3m³ bin need?
Our truck needs a clear, level spot to lift the bin. Let us know about height limits, gates or tight driveways and we’ll check your site before delivery.
