What is the weight of the bin when empty and when fully loaded with waste?
The weight of a bin varies significantly depending on whether it is empty or fully loaded with waste. An empty standard 120-liter wheelie bin typically weighs between 10 to 15 kilograms (22 to 33 pounds), depending on the material (e.g., plastic or metal). When fully loaded with waste, the same bin can weigh anywhere from 50 to 100 kilograms (110 to 220 pounds), depending on the type of waste (e.g., general trash, recyclables, or organic waste).
Factors influencing the weight include the bin's size, material, and the density of the waste. For example, a 240-liter bin may weigh 20 kilograms (44 pounds) when empty and up to 200 kilograms (440 pounds) when full. Properly estimating bin weight is crucial for waste collection efficiency, transportation, and compliance with safety regulations. Always check manufacturer specifications for precise measurements.
