A device for removing a wheel from a wheeled waste container, or wheelie bin comprises a wheel holding member 10 and a threaded drive element 20 that is mounted in a bushing 30 mounted in the wheel holding member. The wheel holding member has an aperture (11, fig 1) in one face that may be placed over the wheel to be removed and is contiguous with an aperture (12, fig 1) in a perpendicular face that may pass over the wheel hub/axle. A third aperture (13, fig 1) opposite the first aperture preferably engages the tyre of the wheel to hold it in the required position. A fourth aperture opposite the second aperture may be positioned coaxially with the wheel axle to align the threaded drive element. Preferably a crank mechanism 40 is attached to the threaded drive element. An associated method is claimed where the holding member is placed over the wheel to be removed and the crank turned causing the threaded drive element to engage the wheel hub, forcibly displacing the wheel from the axle.
