Domestic Bin Sizes
Wheeled Bins
South Northamptonshire Council provides three sizes of wheeled bins for domestic use. The standard size that most households have been issued with is the 240 litre bin. They come in either green or black depending on what type of waste they are used for. See what types of waste go into each bin.

Almost every household (apart from some flats) should have two recycling boxes, one green and one black. The green box is slightly smaller than the black one so it does not get too heavy. See what types of recycling go into each box
