			==Configurations==
			===Materials===
			Most [[Wheelie Bin]] construction is based upon molded [[HDPE (2)]], with the larger 1100 litre and 660 litre bins also available in metal.

			===Colours===
			The colour range is extensive, and whilst is broadly intended to link to the type of waste in the bin, this is by no means consistent across the UK, and indeed can be coloured to match the branding in the business collecting he waste/providing the service. However, in broad terms the following applies:
			* Grey/Black Bins - [[Residual Waste]]
			* Blue Bins - [[DMR]] and Recyclable Waste
			* Green Bins - [[Garden Waste \|Green and Garden Waste]] (but often also used as a standard, non-branded bin colour for commercial premises)
			* Red Bins - [[Hazardous Waste]] (although Biffa branding has red bins for all waste types)
			* Yellow Bins - [[Clinical Waste]]

			===Applications===
			The applications can be extensive, some examples include:
			* The use of smaller bins for heavy food and glass waste that does not compress, and is collected in a separate vehicle without compaction.
			* The use of bins as the 'transporting unit' and not using a [[Rear End Loader]] or [[REL Vehicle]] i.e. [[Clinical Waste]] transported in the bins in a lorry/truck to the [[treatment]] center where they are emptied, cleaned and returned
			* To use of bins to collect material around a large site, enabling that material to then be bought to a central point for compaction/compression for subsequent transport in the compaction bin.
