Has anyone screwed part of a paving slab to the bottom? You'd need to

I thought much the same. Rather than using a paving slab, you could
screw some heavy gauge screws through the base, with large washers to
spread the load, as you suggest, and then empty a bag of postcrete
into the bin, followed by some water to set it off.


I recently had to buy a new bin. They are £50 where I live. So,
experimenting had better not damage the bin too much.


Watching how the bins are inverted and slammed about by the emptying
mechanism, I think a fixed internal weight would soon tear the bin base
apart (and annoy the bin men).
