Rhino Black Wheelie Bin Liners

Our Rhino black wheelie bin liners provide a practical and economical solution for lining large wheeled waste containers in commercial, industrial and institutional environments.

Each liner measures approximately 750mm x 1160mm x 1370mm and features a gusseted construction. Therefore, the bag can expand around the internal space of an appropriately sized wheelie bin while providing enough height to reach the bottom and fold over the rim.

The opaque black material conceals the contents, helping businesses maintain a tidy and discreet waste-storage area. Consequently, these liners work particularly well in customer-facing premises, hospitality settings, communal areas and workplaces where visible rubbish may look untidy.

The 100-gauge polythene has an approximate thickness of 25 microns. This lightweight specification suits soft, bulky and general non-hazardous waste where the liner primarily remains supported by the wheelie bin.

We supply these genuine Rhino-branded wheelie bin liners in boxes containing 100 bags.

Wheelie Bin Liner Size and Specification

The product specification is:

• Brand: Rhino
• Colour: black
• Nominal metric size: 750mm × 1160mm × 1370mm
• Approximate imperial size: 29.5 × 45.7 × 53.9 inches
• Common rounded size: approximately 30 × 46 × 54 inches
• Measurement order: face width × total open width × height
• Material thickness: 100 gauge
• Approximate thickness: 25 microns
• Material: flexible polythene
• Construction: gusseted wheelie bin liner
• Closure: open top without an integral tie
• Colour and appearance: opaque black
• Typical duty: lightweight general waste
• Box quantity: 100 liners

The dimensions are nominal manufacturing measurements. Therefore, small production tolerances may apply.

The imperial dimensions provide approximate conversions from the metric specification. Please use the millimetre measurements when you require the closest comparison.

Understanding the Wheelie Bin Liner Measurements

We show the liner measurements as face width × total open width × height.

The 750mm / approximately 29.5-inch measurement represents the face width of the liner while it lies flat.

The 1160mm / approximately 45.7-inch measurement represents the total open width, including the polythene folded into the side gussets. Consequently, the liner expands beyond its visible face width when opened.

The 1370mm / approximately 53.9-inch measurement represents the overall height from the sealed bottom to the open top.

The 1160mm measurement does not represent the width of one completely flat front panel. Instead, part of this material forms the side gussets and provides additional capacity when the liner opens.

Furthermore, bulky contents use some of the available width and height as the material expands around them. Therefore, do not assume that a rigid item measuring close to the complete stated dimensions will fit inside comfortably.

Designed for Large Wheeled Waste Bins

These liners suit many large commercial and household-style wheeled bins. Their dimensions are commonly associated with standard 240-litre wheelie-bin applications, although bin designs can vary between manufacturers.

Wheelie bins with reinforced rims, handles, internal mouldings or unusual shapes may require additional liner material. Similarly, the stated capacity of a bin does not guarantee that every liner marketed for that capacity will fit correctly.

The generous 1370mm height allows the liner to reach towards the bottom of the bin while leaving material available to fold over the rim.

However, the amount of overhang will depend on the bin’s external height, internal depth and rim design. Therefore, measure the complete bin before ordering rather than relying only on its stated litre capacity.

If your bin is close to the liner dimensions or has an unusual shape, request a sample before purchasing multiple boxes.

Opaque Black Appearance

The opaque black finish helps conceal the waste inside the bin liner.

This makes the product suitable for communal areas, hospitality venues, retail premises and other locations where visible rubbish could affect the appearance of the surrounding area.

The dark colour can also help organisations distinguish general waste from recycling streams collected in clear, blue, green or other colour-coded sacks.

However, using a black liner does not automatically define the waste stream. Always place the liner into the container designated by your organisation or waste contractor.

Some commercial collections require specific colours, printed information or approved liner types. Therefore, confirm your contractor’s requirements before introducing these liners into a formal waste-separation system.

100 Gauge / Approximately 25 Microns

These Rhino wheelie bin liners have a nominal thickness of 100 gauge, equivalent to approximately 25 microns.

This lightweight specification provides an economical lining solution for general waste, soft packaging and other materials that do not include sharp or particularly heavy objects.

Because the wheelie bin supports the liner during filling, the material does not need to carry the complete load until staff remove it from the container. Nevertheless, care remains necessary when lifting or moving the filled bag.

Gauge describes the approximate thickness of the polythene rather than a guaranteed carrying capacity. Actual performance also depends on:

• The type and formulation of the polythene
• The construction of the bottom seam
• The total weight of the contents
• How evenly the waste is distributed
• The presence of sharp or abrasive materials
• The temperature of the waste
• The condition of the liner
• The distance over which it is carried
• How the liner is removed from the bin
• Whether the filled bag is dragged across the floor

Consequently, a bulky item may fit inside the liner while still being too heavy, rigid or sharp for the 100-gauge material.

Gusseted Construction of Black Wheelie Bin Liners

The liner includes folded polythene within its sides. While the bag lies flat, this material forms the gussets. Once opened, the gussets expand and create additional internal capacity.

This construction allows the liner to adapt around the shape of a large wheelie bin more effectively than a completely flat sack.

Before placing the liner inside the bin, separate the sides carefully and make sure the gussets have opened fully. An unopened fold may prevent the liner from reaching the sides or bottom correctly.

The gussets also allow the film to accommodate soft and bulky waste. However, they do not provide extra protection from exposed sharp objects.

Wrap sharp corners separately or use a stronger sack or rigid waste container where puncture resistance is important.

Suitable Waste Applications

These lightweight wheelie bin liners are suitable for everyday non-hazardous waste such as:

• Paper
• Lightweight cardboard
• Soft packaging
• Plastic wrapping
• Empty wrappers
• Disposable cups and containers
• General office rubbish
• Retail packaging waste
• Housekeeping waste
• Light warehouse waste
• Dry cleaning materials
• Non-sharp commercial refuse

They are particularly useful where the wheelie bin supports the bag throughout filling and the contents remain relatively light.

However, suitability depends on the complete waste load rather than one individual item. For example, a large quantity of paper may become considerably heavier than expected, particularly if it becomes wet.

Therefore, monitor both the volume and weight of the contents and avoid filling the liner beyond its practical handling capacity.

Waste These Liners Should Not Contain

Do not use these 100-gauge liners for:

• Broken glass
• Unprotected sharp metal
• Exposed blades or needles
• Rubble and construction waste
• Bricks, tiles or concrete
• Large quantities of soil, gravel or sand
• Timber with exposed nails
• Heavy engineering components
• Hot ashes or embers
• Hot cooking equipment
• Large quantities of liquid
• Leaking waste
• Solvents or corrosive chemicals
• Clinical or infectious waste
• Hazardous substances
• Batteries requiring separate disposal
• Waste electrical equipment
• Waste requiring a regulated or colour-coded sack

These lightweight liners are not rubble sacks, hazardous-waste sacks or clinical-waste bags.

Sharp, hot, clinical and hazardous materials require approved containers and suitable disposal procedures.

Furthermore, the open top does not create a watertight seal. Therefore, do not use the liners to hold free-flowing liquids or leaking containers.

How to Check the Liner Fits Your Wheelie Bin

Measure the external width, depth and height of the wheelie bin before selecting a liner.

For the liner to fit around a rectangular bin opening, the total open width must accommodate both the width and depth of the container.

As a general guide, measure around the complete outside of the bin opening. The liner’s open circumference should provide enough material to pass around the rim without being stretched tightly.

Next, measure from the bottom of the bin, up one side and over the rim. The liner should reach the base while leaving enough material to fold over the top edge.

Also consider handles, hinges, moulded rims and other projections that may use additional material.

Do not stretch the liner tightly across the opening. Excessive tension can make the bag more likely to split when waste is added.

If the liner only just reaches the rim or does not open fully around the bin, select a larger option.

How to Fit a Rhino Wheelie Bin Liner

Remove one liner from the box and locate the open end.

Next, separate the sides carefully without pulling sharply against the seams. Open the gussets fully so the liner can expand to its intended width.

Lower the sealed base into the empty wheelie bin and guide it towards the bottom. Make sure the liner does not catch on hinges, rough surfaces, damaged fittings or projecting components.

Once the liner reaches the base, fold the open edge evenly over the bin rim. Leave enough material around each side to prevent the bag from slipping into the container.

Where necessary, use a suitable retaining band or compatible bin-liner holder. However, avoid stretching the material too tightly.

Before adding waste, check that the liner sits evenly and that the gussets have opened correctly.

Filling the Wheelie Bin Liner Safely

Add suitable waste gradually and distribute it as evenly as possible.

Place lighter and softer materials into the liner first. Avoid dropping heavy or rigid objects directly onto the bottom seam, particularly from a height.

Do not force oversized waste through the bin opening. Similarly, do not compress the contents using your hands or feet, as hidden sharp objects could cause injury or puncture the polythene.

Stop filling before waste reaches the open edge. Leaving unused material at the top makes gathering, closing and removing the liner easier.

If the waste becomes heavier than expected, remove some of the contents or divide the load between separate liners.

Additionally, keep the bin lid closed where practical to prevent rain entering the liner. Water can substantially increase the weight of paper, cardboard and other absorbent waste.

Removing and Closing the Black Wheelie Bin Liners

Before removing the liner, release the material from around the complete bin rim.

Gather the open top carefully and check that the bag is not caught on handles, hinges or projecting parts.

These liners do not include an integral drawstring or adhesive closure. Therefore, close the top using a suitable sack tie, cable tie or knot where sufficient material remains.

Lift the bag gradually rather than pulling sharply. If the filled liner feels heavy, do not rely entirely on the gathered top.

Support the base where practical or reduce the contents before attempting to move it. Additionally, follow your organisation’s manual-handling procedures when removing waste from a large bin.

Never drag the filled liner across concrete, rough flooring or external surfaces. Abrasion can weaken or puncture the polythene.

Finally, place the closed liner into the waste stream specified by your local authority or commercial waste contractor.

Rhino-Branded Black Wheelie Bin Liners / Waste Bags

Rhino supplies waste sacks and wheeled-bin liners for commercial, local-authority and general waste-management applications.

The branded product format helps customers identify and reorder the correct liner specification. However, Rhino produces liners in different dimensions, thicknesses, formulations and performance grades.

Therefore, always check the complete product details rather than ordering by brand or colour alone.

This particular option measures 750mm × 1160mm × 1370mm, has a nominal 100-gauge / approximately 25-micron thickness and is supplied in boxes of 100 liners.

Do not assume that another Rhino wheelie bin liner has the same capacity, construction or performance simply because it has a similar appearance.

Why Choose Rhino Black Wheelie Bin Liners?

These Rhino black wheelie bin liners combine large dimensions, gusseted capacity and economical 100-gauge polythene construction.

The generous size suits many large wheeled waste containers, while the gussets allow the liner to expand around soft and bulky refuse.

Meanwhile, the opaque black finish conceals the contents and provides a recognisable general-waste appearance.

Their lightweight construction makes them suitable for everyday non-hazardous rubbish, packaging and housekeeping waste where the wheelie bin supports the liner during use.

Finally, boxes of 100 provide a practical quantity for businesses and organisations that require a reliable supply of replacement liners.

Food Contact Information

These Rhino wheelie bin liners are intended for waste-collection applications.

Do not use them to store, wrap or transport unpackaged food unless the specification and supporting documentation explicitly confirm suitability for direct food contact.

Black polythene construction does not automatically mean that a liner meets food-contact requirements.

Food businesses may use the liners for suitable back-of-house waste, provided they follow their hygiene, allergen-control, pest-control and waste-separation procedures.

If you require confirmation for a particular application or need a Food Safety Certificate, please email sales@expresspackaging.co.uk before ordering.

Recycled Content Information of Black Wheelie Bin Liners

Rhino promotes recycled-material options across its wheeled-bin liner range. However, recycled-content percentages can differ between individual formulations and product specifications.

Therefore, do not assume that this liner contains a particular percentage of recycled material unless its current Product Information Sheet, packaging or supporting documentation confirms that figure.

If you require the exact recycled-content percentage for reporting, Plastic Packaging Tax records or an environmental claim, please email sales@expresspackaging.co.uk before ordering.

PPWR Compliance Information

Regulation (EU) 2025/40 on Packaging and Packaging Waste, commonly known as the PPWR, applies to packaging placed on the EU market.

We can provide available product specifications and supporting information to help customers complete their compliance assessments. However, polythene construction, Rhino branding, recycled content or potential recyclability alone does not confirm full PPWR compliance.

The responsible economic operator must assess the product and its intended use against all applicable requirements, including packaging minimisation, substances of concern, material composition, recycled content, recyclability, labelling and technical documentation.

Customers intending to place these products on the EU market should email sales@expresspackaging.co.uk to request the latest available documentation and confirm suitability before making a recycled-content, recyclability or PPWR compliance claim.

Material and Responsible Disposal of Black Wheelie Bin Liners

These wheelie bin liners use flexible polythene construction.

Liners containing general waste are normally disposed of together with their contents through the appropriate waste stream rather than recycled separately.

Clean and unused polythene liners may suit specialist flexible-plastic recycling services, depending on the facilities available in your area. However, many household kerbside collections do not accept plastic bags or flexible films.

Contamination with food, liquids, chemicals or general refuse may prevent recycling. Therefore, always follow the guidance provided by your local authority, facilities manager or commercial waste contractor.

Where a liner remains clean and undamaged, consider reusing it before placing it into the appropriate recycling or waste stream.

Important Safety Information

Keep unused wheelie bin liners away from babies and young children because the flexible material can present a suffocation risk. Never use the liners as toys, protective clothing or bedding.

Store unused liners in a clean, dry place away from direct heat, naked flames and prolonged sunlight. Polythene can melt or burn when exposed to high temperatures.

Never place hot ashes, embers or heated objects into the liners.

Do not overload the bags or fill them with waste that exceeds the strength of the material or seams. Similarly, protect the polythene from sharp corners, broken objects and abrasive surfaces.

Before lifting, check the liner for punctures, stretching or other damage. If the contents are bulky or heavy, reduce the load or transfer the waste into a stronger container.

Always follow your organisation’s manual-handling, hygiene and waste-disposal procedures.
