The FEL Bin is commonly found on sites where large amounts of waste are being produced.
Not as big as a rear-end-loader and bigger than a skip, its shape has been designed to take up as little space on your site as possible without compromising any structural integrity & provide a lockable secure container to avoid fly-tipping or unwanted pests from gaining access.

FEL bin size guide
FEL bin weight limits are dependent on the type of waste you wish to store in a FEL waste container.
The quantity of how many full bags of waste or recycling material you can put into a bin will also depend on the type of waste you are disposing of.
We advise first checking that you can fit a FEL bin on your site before selecting a size based on weight capacity.
What is a FEL bin?
A FEL bin, or front-end loader bin, is a large container used for the collection and transportation of waste materials.
It is commonly known as a FEL bin or dumpster. FEL bins are typically made of durable materials such as steel and have an open top to facilitate easy loading and unloading of waste.
They have the advantage of being able to securely hold large quantities of waste meaning that you may be able to reduce the amount of collections you’d require each month.
Fel bins also take up far less room on site, so you don’t need to worry as much about placement as long as a front-end-loader vehicle can get access to the container.
What can I dispose of in a fel bin?
FEL bins, or Front End Loader bins, are versatile containers that can accommodate a wide range of waste types. Here are the common types of waste that can be placed in a FEL bin:
General waste for a FEL bin
This includes everyday household waste, office waste, packaging materials, and non-hazardous materials that are typically generated in day-to-day activities.
Construction and Demolition Debris for FEL bins
FEL bins are well-suited for collecting construction waste, such as concrete, bricks, wood, metals, tiles, drywall, and other materials generated during building construction, renovation, or demolition projects.
Recyclables
FEL bins are suitable for collecting recyclable materials like paper, cardboard, plastic containers, glass bottles, metal cans, and other recyclable items. Proper waste segregation is essential to ensure effective recycling of these materials.
Non-Hazardous Industrial Waste
FEL bins can be used for collecting non-hazardous waste generated in industrial settings, such as manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and factories.
This may include packaging materials, scrap materials, and non-toxic byproducts.
Bulky Waste
It’s important to note that there are certain items that should not be placed in FEL bins.
Examples include hazardous waste such as chemicals, paint, batteries, asbestos, medical waste, and other materials that pose a risk to human health or the environment.
Proper disposal methods should be followed for hazardous waste, and local regulations should be consulted.
