A bin, dustbin, rubbish bin or garbage bin was a small, cylindrical container for rubbish, used on Earth.
There were two bins in the alley where a Cyberon once materialised. (WC: Cyberon is Back!!)
The Doctor's TARDIS contained bins. (TV: The Unquiet Dead)
The Nestene Consciousness animated a rubbish bin which captured Mickey Smith. (TV: Rose)
In 2050, K9 Mark 2 fell into a dustbin when he was disabled by Dauntless Prison's defences. (TV: Liberation) Frobisher fell into a dustbin when he was attacked by an owl. He took the form of a burger but was nearly eaten by a tramp. (COMIC: The Shape Shifter)
The Twelfth Doctor found taking the bins out to be boring, which is why he always made Clara Oswald do it. (COMIC: Epilogopolis)
Daleks were frequently compared to dustbins by their enemies as an insult. Dortmun called the Daleks "motorised dustbins" during the 22nd century invasion of Earth. (TV: The Dalek Invasion of Earth) Jane Davis-Hunt decried the Dalek Supreme on Balbo as a "gold-plated dustbin". (AUDIO: Poison of the Daleks) The Ninth Doctor later called the last Dalek "the great space dustbin." (TV: Dalek)
Behind the scenes
- The garbage bin is an object with an unlikely resonance to Doctor Who imagery due to the frequent observation that the Dalek casing bears an unfortunate resemblance to certain types of rubbish bins and dustbins. This likeness was used as a joke in several licensed Doctor Who spoofs, such as Regeneration of a Dalek.
