Black waste bin lid collecting water

[Tigercubrider]

My black waste bin collects water on top of it’s lid - so when wheel it to the kerb on bin day after a shower, you tip the water all over your front
Probably due to a detail to help increasing its strength, the centre front of the lid is lower and catches rain.

I had the idea of heating the backside and pushing it upwards to be convex rather than concave.
Thoughts?
Anybody done it?
Was thinking careful use of a hot air gun

Thanks

Now that's what I call first world problems.
Can't you just remember not to do it next time? Or build a bin store.

No idea about heat, sounds feasible.

I do tend to remember, but just my luck to shove the last bag in one bin day and manage to drench my front. There’s about a pint on a bad day!

Are we talking wheely bin here?

If so then yes take a hot air gun to it then (wearing gloves) push it upwards from inside as you suggest.
Or.... drill a hole in the middle at the lowest point.

Tip the water off before you move the bin or lift the lid

your bin would be perfect for this wee fella

Our bin lid behaves much the same way. Also, it's cunningly designed so that lifting the lid to tip off the water results in water entering the bin via the hinge section!

I would drill a hole but I’d have to drill another in the base. I only have one spare hole left.
Weirdly, the “Brown bins” for garden waste are the other way.

Way too complicated .

Maybe get whoever dresses you in the morning to put the bins out .?

Park one side of bin, on a brick, so it has a permanent lean/tilt, then the water will run off.
