Front End Loader Bins
Front End Loader bins are ideal for commercial sites producing consistent waste. Choose from multiple sizes and enjoy dependable collections from one of the UK’s leading waste management providers.
Front End Loader Bin Collection
A Front End Loader (FEL) bin is a robust, static steel container designed for long-term use on commercial premises. Unlike traditional skips, which are removed and replaced each time they are emptied, FEL bins are emptied on-site using a specialist front-loading vehicle. This approach minimises downtime, avoids unnecessary vehicle movements, and delivers a consistent, space-saving waste solution.
Built for strength and practicality, our FEL bins are designed to stay on-site permanently, making them ideal for businesses generating a steady flow of recyclables. Combined with our flexible collection schedules and comprehensive coverage areas, they provide an effortless and environmentally responsible waste management solution throughout Cambridgeshire, Peterborough, Northamptonshire, Leicestershire and Milton Keynes areas.
Constructed from high-grade steel, FEL containers are weather-resistant, lockable, and designed to keep waste secure, tidy, and contained at all times. Their compact footprint allows for efficient use of space, even on busy industrial sites.
Front End Loader Bin Dimensions and Specifications
| Our Front End Loader (FEL) bins are available in a range of sizes, providing flexible waste storage and collection options for all types of businesses.
Bin dimensions and weight limits vary according to the container size and the nature of the waste being stored. Each bin has a uniform size regardless of the waste type being stored, ensuring easy handling and compatibility with FEL collection vehicles. Typical 8-yd FEL bin dimensions:
Each FEL bin comes equipped with a secure, lockable lid to prevent theft, damage, or contamination. If you need a larger bin then consider static options such as Skips, RoRo’s, Compactors or Balers. |
