Before you decide

  1. Provide site photos and measurements to the proposed collector.
  2. Arrange assessment where access, gradients or clearance are uncertain.
  3. Confirm responsibility for moving bins and keeping access clear.
  4. Compare collection windows, missed-service procedures and all charges.

What this comparison cannot tell you

There is no universal rule that a 1100L bin must be front-lift or that one system is always cheaper. Model dimensions and vehicle requirements must come from the proposed provider.
