When you need a new wheelie bin for home or commercial use, you need a robust and weatherproof bin that can stand up to the elements and various waste materials. Come rain or shine, our 240 Litre Wheelie Bin will give you many years of dependable use. It can also stand up to harsh substances like acids, alkalis, and bacteria, too.

In Europe, Nordic countries (except for Iceland) have the highest proportion of waste used to generate electricity, resulting in low uses of landfill, according to the Confederation of European Waste to Energy Plants (CEWEP).

Soon skiers will be able to whizz down the 450m slope that wraps around the aluminium-clad building. Around 50-60,000 skiers are expected each year.

It was switched on in 2017, and this Friday the ski area opens to the public. The project has been almost a decade in the making and cost €550m ($600m; £490m) to build.

Two huge furnaces burn the waste at temperatures of around 1,000C. "You have water coming in to these vaults," explains ARC's chief engineer Peter Blinksbjerg. "We boil the water and produce steam."

Extra precautions had to be in place, before the public could be allowed to ski above the incinerator and high-pressure steam system.

While it is greener than burning fossil fuels, such as coal or natural gas, he adds: "As we move on to a greater share of renewables in the electricity mix, the case for incineration gets weaker."

Burning waste creates carbon dioxide emissions. However it is argued that the methane emitted from landfill has a much higher greenhouse effect than the same volume of CO2.

"To be totally honest, I don't even think about it - that it's waste," says Cecilie Sjoeberg, who has lived in the area for five years.

The European Union has set targets for countries to recycle 65% of municipal waste and reduce rates of landfill to 10%, by 2035.

"With the current situation with climate change, we have to look at any facility that generates CO2 - including incineration."

All of our metal wheelie bins and wheelie bin stores will be delivered by pallet network. As these are made to order delivery times can fluctuate. Please contact us on either live chat or by email.

ARC is importing waste from abroad to feed the giant furnaces. By 2024, it forecasts that almost half of the material it burns will be imported waste and biomass.

"There has been quite a lot of construction challenges," explains Christian Ingels, the general manager of Copenhill. The rooftop is leased to his firm which runs the recreational area.

He argues that emissions from incineration are lower. "So in taking waste from the UK to here, we're reducing the greenhouse effect."

A turbine and generator produce electricity which is fed into grid. The leftover energy from the steam is used to provide heating for 72,000 homes, through a system called district heating, which is common throughout Denmark.

"A power plant doesn't have to be some kind of ugly box that blocks the views or casts shadows on its neighbours. It can actually be, maybe the most popular park in a city," Mr Ingels tells me enthusiastically.

Bakke means hill in Danish. For a country whose highest point is a mere 170m (550ft), the new 85m summit has become a landmark and has also stirred debate about how best to handle the city's waste.

We are based in the glorious Cotswolds and hold over 20 years of experience supplying and manufacturing bins to domestic, trade and public sectors. The wheelie bins we sell are good value without compromising on quality.More about us

Any wheelie bins that require any modifications will extend the delivery time, this includes having locks, apertures or non-standard lids fitted.

The secure lid traps waste and odours and can be secured further with one of our optional locking mechanisms. Available in a variety of colours. Check your council’s colour preferences for each waste stream before placing an order for one of our wheelie bins. For additional dryness and cleanliness, grab a box of our extra-strong 240 Litre Wheelie Bin Liners (sold separately).

Incineration

"Coming out of the stack is nitrogen, which is also in the air, there's a little leftover oxygen, some water vapour and then carbon dioxide," says Mr Blinksbjerg.

"We argued that of course we should recycle, then we should reuse. So there was no reason for constructing such a big incinerator."

However as an energy source, it's not particularly effective. "You're talking about something that has about the third of the energy content compared with wood. And considerably less compared with fossil fuels. So you have to burn a lot of stuff to produce much energy," says Mr Jones.

It is also a revenue earner. "It's pretty much the only fuel where people will actually pay you to burn it," says Peter Jones from environmental consultancy, Eunomia.

His firm is behind the design of a new artificial ski slope in Denmark's capital Copenhagen, built on the roof of a huge incinerator that burns waste to produce heat and electricity.

"There are better ways to produce energy than burning waste. They use a lot of plastic because plastic is calorific, and paper and wood also. All those are recyclable if they are separately collected," says Piotr Barczak, from the European Environmental Bureau in Brussels.

Amager Bakke is billed as one of the cleanest waste-to-energy plants in the world, thanks to technology that filters its emissions.

From the plant's rooftop there are views over the city, harbour and the heavy industry close by. Apartment blocks stand just a couple of hundred metres away.

It is a series of advanced filters that ARC claims makes this facility cleaner than others. Particles and pollutants from the smoke are removed, and a process called Selective Catalytic Reduction breaks down harmful nitrogen oxide (NOx) into nitrogen and water vapour.

We must stress that customers check with their local council before the point of ordering to ensure they are ordering the correct size and are compatible with the local collection service. Due to the size of these bins, only specialist couriers will deliver these products, we subsidise delivery costs for the bins but to return them would be rather costly. If there is a fault in some way we will, of course, rectify it at no cost to you but we would need to be notified as soon as possible. If you are still not happy and would like to send the bins back, you would have to at your own cost, this would vary but at the low end you would be looking at least £40 per bin, when we receive the goods back we will take an additional restocking fee. If any amendments or additions have been fitted we have the right to refuse the return of the bins in relation to the Distance Selling Regulations for Consumers.

Up to 300 truckloads of waste arrive at the plant each day, from households and businesses across the metropolitan area. It is the rubbish left over after Copenhagen's waste has been sorted for recycling.

The plant is run by waste management firm, Amager Resource Centre (ARC) and owned by five local municipalities, while engineering firms Babcock and Wilcox Vollund built the main infrastructure for the plant.

"It has never been constructed in a size which fitted the waste in the the five municipalities in Copenhagen," says Jens Peter Mortensen, an environmental expert at The Danish Society for Nature Conservation.

With high costs and early technical issues, the plant has not been problem-free. The main criticism is that it is simply too big and there isn't enough local waste to feed the huge furnaces.

240 Litre Wheelie Bins are the trusted choice of councils and homeowners throughout the country. With its generous capacity, this durable bin can handle all types of waste, from general rubbish to garden waste, glass, plastics, paper, and more. It’s the perfect waste management choice for households and businesses alike.

CEWEP's managing director, Ella Stengler, says not all waste can be recycled effectively. "For this part of the waste, rather then sending it to landfill, the best and most sustainable treatment of the waste is to turn it into energy, into electricity and heat for cities, for homes and industries."
