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?


In our case a bungee cord tying together the handles of two bins together back-to-back has worked wonders. Separately they'd walk around in the wind, often falling over entirely, but together we've had no issues.


I have a piece of rope, one end tied to the garden bench the other end
has a lump of paving slab tied to it, when windy I pull the rope over
the 3 bins and sit the slab on the ground.
