Through extensive testing with different bin sizes, waste types, and compression depths, we found that around 400 mm of compression (roughly one-third of the bin’s height) is the optimal level. This depth flattens waste efficiently while keeping the bottom two-thirds loose and free-flowing, allowing everything to empty cleanly on collection day.

On average, the WheelieMate helps you fit 4–5 extra bags of rubbish every week. Controlled, even pressure flattens air pockets and soft waste without forcing everything to the bottom — giving you significantly more space without over-packing.

It’s best for general and soft household waste, but you can use it for light green waste like leaves or grass. Just avoid big branches or anything too dense — it’s designed to compact evenly, not crush heavy materials.

The compaction plate has been engineered for a universal fit, working seamlessly with all standard wheelie bins 80 litres and up. The design locks securely into place, delivering smooth, even compaction across every bin size.

The WheelieMate applies smooth, distributed pressure rather than force at a single point. This even compression prevents strain, cracks, or damage, ensuring your bin remains structurally sound after every use.

The lever system multiplies your strength by up to 8×, giving powerful compaction with minimal effort. There’s no need to touch the rubbish, climb inside, or risk injury — the design keeps bin day clean and effortless.
