CK Bin Distribution

Wheelie bins lead a hard life disposing of our rubbish week after week, so it’s understandable really that they don’t last for too many years before they start to break, hinges snap, sides of the body split.

Wheelie bins have a relatively short lifespan, typically just 5 hard years and they are ready for retirement. But what happens to them after we cast them aside, have you ever wondered or even care?

Whilst at first glance the UK’s government apparent U-turn on the going back to weekly wheelie bin collections would seem like a poor decision, yes there are many benefits, not just the obvious one’s either

Wheelie bins travel a fair few miles in their lifetime, bear in mind that the life of a wheelie bin is a hard one, they get knocked about, kicked, lids get slammed and the then twice a month a lorry comes along and shakes it about......

Wheelie bins are subjected to a hard life, typically an average wheelie bin will reach the end of its useful life at around the 5 year mark, but thats not the end for your old or broken wheelei bin.
