                                        Various types and sizes exist for different items and purposes. Examples include residential
                                        unit bins, bulk bins, MGB, steely bins and specialised for medical waste or cigarette butts.
 Bin Storage Area                       An enclosed area designated for storing on-site refuse bins or a refuse compactor within
                                        the property.
 Bulk Bin                               A galvanized or steel bin receptacle that is greater than 360L in capacity generally ranging
                                        from 1.00m³ to 4.50m³ used for the storage of refuse that is used for on-site refuse
