## Guides
- [How to Replace Wheelie Bin Wheels and Axles](https://kittydi.com/guides/how-to-replace-wheelie-bin-wheels/): To replace wheelie bin wheels, tip the empty bin onto its lid, prise off the clips on the axle ends and pull the old wheels off. Then check the axle for bends and rust, and swap it if needed. Finally, slide the axle through, push a new wheel onto each end and refit the clips.
- [Wheelie Bin Axle Sizes: Diameter, Length and Type](https://kittydi.com/guides/wheelie-bin-axle-sizes/): Most wheelie bin axle diameters are 21.5 mm, while 19 mm and 22 mm also appear on some models. Length depends on the width of the bin base, for example 480 mm or 550 mm. Axles come solid, semi-hollow or hollow, in zinc-plated low-carbon steel, or in stainless steel for coastal and washdown sites.
- [Choosing Castors for 660L and 1100L Bins](https://kittydi.com/guides/castors-for-660-1100-litre-bins/): Most 660L and 1100L bins run on four 200 mm bin castors: two swivel and two with a total-lock brake. Choose a polypropylene hub for light, rust-free bins, or a pressed steel hub for heavy loads and long pulls. Smaller containers of 30 to 120 litres use 160 mm castors instead.
- [Castor Brakes for Waste Containers: Types and Layouts](https://kittydi.com/guides/castor-brakes-for-waste-containers/): For most waste containers, castor brakes should be total-lock types fitted to two of the four castors. A total lock stops both the wheel and the swivel, so a full bin stays still on a slope. Add a directional lock for ramps, and pick a leading or trailing pedal to suit the bin.
- [Zinc Plating vs Stainless Steel for Bin Axles and Castors](https://kittydi.com/guides/zinc-plating-vs-stainless-bin-axles/): Zinc plating suits most bin axles, castor housings and bolts, because it protects low-carbon steel at a low cost. Choose stainless steel instead for coastal towns, food waste and washdown areas, where salt and cleaning water wear zinc away faster. Always state the plating standard and the passivation type on your order.
- [Wheelie Bin Sizes: 140L to 1100L Compared](https://kittydi.com/guides/wheelie-bin-sizes/): Common wheelie bin sizes are 140, 180, 240 and 360 litres on two wheels, plus 660, 770 and 1100 litres on four castors. A 240 litre bin stands about 1.06 m high, 0.57 m wide and 0.72 m deep. Exact dimensions vary by maker, so councils publish their own figures.
- [How to Choose a Bin Parts Supplier: A Buyer's Checklist](https://kittydi.com/guides/how-to-choose-a-bin-parts-supplier/): To choose a bin parts supplier, check that it makes parts to EN 840 bins, confirms every order on a drawing, and supplies samples before mass production. Then ask which finish standards it follows, what inspection papers it provides and which Incoterms rule applies to the price.
- [Castor Wheels for Bins: Rubber, Polypropylene, Steel or Polyamide?](https://kittydi.com/guides/castor-wheels-rubber-vs-polyamide/): For most waste bins, castor wheels with a solid rubber tread on a polypropylene hub give the best balance of quiet running, low weight and rust-free life. Choose a pressed steel hub for heavy loads and long pulls, and a polyamide hub on ball bearings for the heaviest containers.
- [Wheelie Bin Maintenance Checklist for Councils and Contractors](https://kittydi.com/guides/wheelie-bin-maintenance-checklist/): Good bin maintenance means checking eight things on a regular cycle: wheels, axles, castors, brakes, lids, hinges, locks and the bin base. Most faults start small, such as a worn axle end or a stiff brake, so a quick check at each service stops a breakdown at the kerb.
