Wheelie bins in Edinburgh

Wheelie bins in Edinburgh sizes and dimensions and types:


Basically you get a two wheelies - a green one for everyday trash and a brown one for garden waste. Green one is picked up once a week - the brown one seems to be every blue moon.

There are an additional two recycling crates, one is for glass and tin cans, the other's for cardboard. There are two big bags for newspapers too.

(There are on street recycling bins for plastics and papers and any other recycling.)

The wheelies are 600mm wide by 750mm deep and 1100mm high.
The small crates are 570mm wide by 450mm deep by 350mm high.

If you have a big family (3 kids or more I think) you get a bigger trash wheely but I ain't got one to measure. I've seen one though and it's huge. Better leave about 850mm squarex1100mm high

Thanks and credit to my sister!
