Meet the team dedicated to helping Australians manage waste more effectively
Best Bin Australia started in 2023 when our founder, after spending countless hours researching the perfect kitchen bin for a new home renovation, realised there was a significant gap in the Australian market. While there were plenty of product listings, there was no dedicated resource that combined honest reviews, practical buying advice, and educational content about waste management—all tailored specifically for Australian conditions and requirements.
What began as a simple comparison website has evolved into Australia's most comprehensive resource for bins and waste management solutions. Today, our small but dedicated team reviews dozens of products each year, creates in-depth educational guides, and helps thousands of Australians make more informed decisions about their waste management needs.
We believe that effective waste management starts at home—and it starts with having the right tools. Our mission is threefold: to help Australians find the perfect bin for their specific needs, to educate our community about sustainable waste practices, and to contribute to a cleaner, greener Australia through better individual choices.
Every product we feature has been carefully evaluated against criteria that matter to Australian households: durability in our harsh climate (from Queensland humidity to Western Australian heat), compatibility with local council requirements, value for money, and environmental impact. We don't just look at specifications—we consider real-world usage scenarios that Australian families face every day.
Unlike generic product review sites, we're specialists. We understand the difference between a 120-litre SULO bin and a 240-litre Mastec wheelie. We know why UV-stabilised plastics matter for outdoor bins in the Australian sun. We can explain the pros and cons of Bokashi fermentation versus traditional composting for apartment dwellers in Sydney or Melbourne.
Our team includes home renovation enthusiasts who've installed countless kitchen bins, gardeners passionate about composting, and sustainability advocates who genuinely care about reducing waste to landfill. This combined expertise means we can offer insights that go beyond simple star ratings—we provide context, recommendations, and practical advice you can trust.
We're also proudly independent. While we do earn commissions through our partnership with Amazon Australia (as clearly disclosed throughout our site), our reviews and recommendations are never influenced by commercial considerations. If a product doesn't meet our standards, it doesn't make it onto our site—regardless of potential earnings.
