Default Stopping wheelie bins from blowing over?

I'm sick of finding a wheelie bin on it's arse, empty, contents strewn
everywhere.

I put a paving slab on them which prevents this, but only if I remember
which I didn't yesterday.

So has anyone come up with a more 'set and forget' solution?

I'd buy/build a housing but we've two at the moment and the council are
threatening us with a third so waiting to see how that plays out.


We have some bins normally kept next to a wall. I screwed eyes into the
wall and use a bungee to keep a bin in place. The bungee frayed, and I
did wonder if some animal had tried to chew it. We have a stack of
three little bins. Two have plastic flaps and one flap broke when I put
the stack of bins out to be collected and the stack got blown over. I
asked for a replacement flap. It was delivered free of charge the next day.
