Dog proof kitchen bin

Can anyone recommend a greyhound/lurcher proof kitchen bin? Atm we have an under stairs cupboard that houses a carrier bag, ideal as it’s thief-proof. But we’ll be moving and won’t have this option.

It doesn't exist. I reached the point of chaining and padlocking the bin closed and to the wall and the dog then caved the front in. Use any tall cupboard, or it'll have to be kept outside your kitchen door in a bin store.

He is not a lurcher but our dog cant get into our simply human magnetic lock bin

I've had to take the shelves out of an undercounter kitchen cupboard so the bin can live in there.

Very unstylish but we resorted to putting a brick on top of our bin to thwart our whippet. We did progress to a heavy door stop, which looked less jarring.

My bins (general and recycling) are built in. They pull out on runners. A dog would not be able to pull them out.

Similar to this but mine have a top handle and are a bit narrower. One bin per unit.
