A typical wheelie bin will have a lifespan of around 5 years before your wheelie bin will reach the end of its useful life. Based on an average twice monthly collection service this will equate to be emptied around 130 times.
This doesn’t sound believable, bear in mind this is averages and whilst you might treat your wheelie bin with respect not many people do. For example older people or people living alone tend not to over fill their rubbish bins thus when the refuse lorry hooks it up to the lift to empty it what little rubbish in there drops out easily unlike homes of larger families were the bins contents gets squashed and compacted over the course of two weeks resulting in the refuse lorries lifting mechanism having to shake the bin to within inches of destruction in order to get it emptied.
