Large laundry bin recommendations, possibly with two sections?

I need to sort out my laundry system, currently a basket for everyone (4 of us) and its chaos.
I'd like one central place to put dirty washing so need something big maybe with sections for light & dark.
Can anyone recommend something please?

John Lewis have some with two sections, for example this one .

we just put everything straight in the machine and then as soon as it's full we put it on. makes our lives sooooo much easier. I used to be the same as you, baskets all over the house, looking for some sort of big solution.
but really we have pretty much got rid of the need for washing baskets now and it means more space and there's never a backlog of laundry

I recently bought two pretty big water hyacinth ones from Dunhelm Mill. They are rectangular, so sat together in a dark corner they look like one very large basket. Mind you, that still leaves delicates in a heap in the corner...

I use Sortera tubs from Ikea so they stack.

I have to separate out blacks from light colours from whites. It should be the law Grin

So I have several tubs hidden in a wardrobe in the spare bedroom. Once the tub is full it goes onto wash.

I've got one from Dunelm with two labelled sections. Very handy!

What about colours mixing 4littleones? Or different fabric types/washing requirements?

Are you clothes still coming out ok? Be marvellous if this system worked :)

Contented that Sortera is a great idea.
I have an old wicker chest and I divided the interior into three sections with cardboard.

I use a previous version of this: www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/00219051/.

There are 3 colours, so you could have one for darks, lights, and colours?
