dougal Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I am looking to purchase a new indoor garbage bin. For some time I have had my bin behind a dog gate, but would like to move it closer into the kitchen......which includes dogs. Has anybody had any success with a specific type of bin? I'm thinking a heavy base (to stop them pushing it over), with a good locking mechanism. Just when I think I've found the solution they show me otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pjrt Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I used to keep mine in a cupboard too, now it's just me and I don't have much rubbish, I just have a tiny bench top one and put rubbish in the outside bin each morning.. My morning ritual is take small rubbish bag out of bench top bin, go out and do poo patrol using a nappy bag, put tied nappy bag in small rubbish bag, tie off, and put in rubbish bin.

dougal Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 I have a bin in the cupboard, but with a family it's not large enough and quickly fills with doggy attractive items. Maybe I need to get a lump of lead and put in the bottom to stop the tipping motion and try for a lid that doesn't allow for easy nose access! I have an area where I can jam it between two solid walls, so it's just the paws on the top to pull it over and nose under the lid. Grulife, I found it much easier when I was on my own, but trying to control large human habits as well makes it difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesP Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I had trouble with my cats and bins. I got this wooden bin and that fixed the issue. Not sure if it would work for a dog though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougal Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 That looks good JulesP - is it heavy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesP Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Pretty heavy and doesn't seem prone to tipping over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Hope this link works - CLICK HERE there are some great looking bins!! I kinda like the pull out ones - 1X20 litr, 2X 10 ltr . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipsqueak Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 How about something like this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pjrt Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Perhaps go to one of those storage solution shops and see if there is a retro fit for a cupboard bin. Like rails or sliders or a bracket or something so that a bin or just a bag can be fitted into a cupboard. There are really neat ones that slide out or swing out. They make the most of the available space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suziwong66 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 we have two metal Simple Human. two-flap, centre opening bins. Unless something is poking out of the top (in which case it's too full & needs emptying) neither of my labs have ever gotten into them. They are stupid expensive but damn good quality.

CrazyCresties Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I have the same as Suzi - the simplehuman butterfly bin. They have a nice strong lid which stays clamped down well. https://www.google.com.au/search?q=simplehuman+butterfly+bin They are not the cheapest bins, but we have had the same bin for nearly 9 years now and it's still going strong.

dougal Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) thanks for the ideas everyone. I was looking at the simple human ones this morning and wondered if they work given the cost. If a lab hasn't penetrated it, they must be good As I'm heading to the US in a month or so, thought if I didn't find a solution in Aus would look at bringing one back. The US have so many things of much better quality. eta - I like that idea pipsqueak, could be a quick measure until I can get something more robust.

The only time one of our labs has managed to pull rubbish out or even remotely get it open was when it was too full and paper was poking out. We got the first one on sale and paid considerably less than its retail price. The second one (the larger of the two) we bought as our recycle bin and didn't hesitate about the price tag since we knew they worked well.

JulesP Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 My theory is pay the money and get the thing that works. I find I end up spending the same amount of cash buying various cheaper things that don't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
