BINLINER CONTAINERS


Introduced in 1977 the very first containerised ‘Binliner’ service was a new train formed of 20 ex-Freightliner bogie flat wagons, each carrying three 20ft compaction rubbish containers. It ran between the Greater London Council’s RTS (refuse treatment station) at Brentford and the old Amey Roadstone quarry at Appleford, near Didcot.


In the 1980s, several other local authorities also chose rail as their most economic means of refuse disposal. Greater Manchester Council introduced its own ‘Binliner’ trains in 1981, running to the Wimpey Waste Management site at Appley Bridge, near Wigan, and Avon County Council began a service from the Bristol/Bath area to Calvert 1985.


Printed in super high definition resin, our "binliners" are supplied as a pack of 3 containers. They come straight form the printer so require cleaning before painting.
