If you’ve ever driven down a semi-rural street on bin night, you may have wondered how people got their bins from their homes to the roadside without walking hundreds of metres (or in some cases, kilometres). The guys from Multi-Bin have developed a pretty convenient solution called the Multi-Bin tow, which lets you tow multimple bins to the kerb without any effort whatsoever. Win!
Essentially a metal bracket that fixes to the bin and the tow ball on your car, the Multi-Bin Tow also works in conjunction with the original Multi-Bin, letting you transport multiple bins without any real effort. It may seem a bit steep at $59 for the tow attachment, plus $9 delivery, but you can’t put a price on convenience.

Wednesday, May 11, 2011 at 3:48 PMThe patented multi-bin tow is the only compact dual wheelie bin towing attachment available. multi-bin tow is made in Australia from Australian steel and comes with a 12 month warranty. You can purchase a multi-bin tow by itself to tow 1 bin for $59 + $9 delivery or you can buy the multi-bin tow kit which includes a multi-bin or multi-bin2 (depending on if you want to tow a tall and short bin or 2 tall bins together) for $89 + $12 delivery. Remember you still get all the benefits of multi-bin to get your bins from the house to the back of the car plus the fact multi-bin also holds your gardening tools. multi-bin tow easily fits in the boot of your car saving you at least 2 trips to put your bins in and out.

Wednesday, May 11, 2011 at 4:20 PMI grew up on a farm with quite a long driveway. The tow ball on the car was an effective way to get the bin out to the road (as long as the bin wasnt overloaded, cause it would be on quite a lean!). when recycling came in it made things a bit more difficult, but we weren’t going to start doing 2 trips with the car… So it was towball for one bin, and arm out the window towing the lighter bin.
This is probably a better solution…

Or make two trips.
