Engels supplies plastic two wheel wheelie bins in capacities from 42 to 360 litres. The range is suitable for general waste, paper and card, food waste and other compatible commercial waste streams at businesses, schools, care facilities, hospitality venues, housing sites and public locations.
Technical construction
Each bin is manufactured from impact resistant HDPE and consists of a plastic body and hinged lid. The material is resistant to UV exposure, frost and normal outdoor weather conditions. The lid has two handles for controlled opening.

Choosing between 120 and 240 litres
A 120 litre wheelie bin is compact and suits lower waste volumes or restricted storage areas. A 240 litre wheelie bin offers approximately twice the capacity and is a common choice for businesses that want to reduce collection frequency. A 360 litre wheelie bin provides more capacity while retaining a two wheel format.

Frequented asked questions about wheelie bins
What is the difference between a 120 litre and a 240 litre wheelie bin?
A 240 litre wheelie bin offers approximately twice the capacity of a 120 litre model. It is suitable for larger waste volumes or less frequent collections. The 120 litre bin occupies less space and is easier to position in compact areas.
Which two wheel wheelie bin sizes are available?
The current Engels range includes 42, 60, 80, 120, 140, 240 and 360 litre models. The exact dimensions, colours and accessories vary by capacity and product configuration.
Are two wheel wheelie bins suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. The HDPE construction is resistant to UV exposure, frost and normal weather conditions. Position the bin on a stable surface and clean it regularly to maintain safe operation.
Can a two wheel wheelie bin be locked?
Selected models can be fitted with a lid lock or locking system. This helps limit unauthorised use at business premises, schools, shared residential sites and public locations.
What waste can be collected in a two wheel wheelie bin?
These bins can be used for general waste, paper and card, food waste and other compatible waste streams. Colours, labels and deposit openings can be adapted to the collection arrangement.
Do two wheel wheelie bins comply with EN 840?
Professional Engels two wheel wheelie bins comply with EN 840. This standard covers requirements including dimensions, safety, strength and compatibility with suitable collection systems.
How should a two wheel wheelie bin be cleaned?
Empty the bin before cleaning. Rinse the internal surfaces and use a cleaning product that is suitable for HDPE and the waste previously stored. Clean the lid, handles and wheels, then allow the bin to drain and dry before use.
