The type of containers you are assessed for may depend on the space you have on your premises and if your business is in a time banded location

Information for new developments
Refer to our guide for architects and developers for bin storage requirements if you are involved in the construction of a new development.
Enough storage space must be made available for the number of refuse and recycling containers required for the maximum number of households, as outlined in the guide.
Waste management plans must be reviewed prior to construction to ensure the layout of sites complies with council health and safety requirements to prevent issues during bin collections in the future.
For residential developments, bins must be purchased from us. We will deliver them before the development is occupied. For more information, contact us at binenquiries@barnet.gov.uk
