LidStop 2-Pack – Simple Clip-On Wheelie Bin Lid Lock for Wind, Storms & Wildlife

The LidStop 2-Pack is ideal for smaller households or anyone wanting to secure one or two bins. This lightweight clip-on resistance device helps keep wheelie bin lids closed during wind and storms, reduces wildlife access to food scraps, and prevents the lid from flipping past 90° when emptied — making the lid fall shut automatically after the garbage truck empties your bin.

A clean, safe and effortless way to keep your bins closed and protected all week.

Why Choose LidStop?

✔ Keeps Your Wheelie Bin Lid Closed in Wind & Storms

LidStop adds flexible resistance once the lid reaches about 40–45°, helping stop it from blowing wide open in bad weather.

✔ Helps Reduce Access from Birds & Possums

Wildlife may lift the lid slightly, but LidStop makes it harder for them to push it further, reducing easy access to food waste.

✔ Lid Automatically Closes After Emptying

LidStop stops the lid from flipping back past 90° during truck emptying.
When the bin is put back down, the lid falls closed naturally under its own weight.

This helps reduce:

• Rainwater entering the bin
• Fly and insect activity
• Odours from escaping
• Wildlife interest after bin day

✔ No Drilling, No Straps, No Tools Required

Clips on instantly — nothing to remove before collection and nothing to forget.

✔ Safer Than Using Bricks or Other Weights

No heavy objects that can fall off when the bin is lifted and cause damage.

✔ Fits Standard Australian Bins

Compatible with 120L and 240L council wheelie bins across Australia.

How LidStop Works

LidStop is a gravity-based resistance clip — not a lock or latch.

1. Clip it onto the bin handle in seconds.
2. As the lid lifts to roughly 40–45°, resistance activates, making it harder for the lid to open fully.
3. On rubbish day, the garbage truck empties your bin normally — LidStop flexes so the lid can open.
4. LidStop prevents the lid flipping past 90°, so it closes itself after the bin is emptied.

Simple, automatic, and low-maintenance.

Installation (10–15 seconds total)

Safety Notes

• LidStop does not fully lock the bin.

• Resistance begins at ~40–45° (not at zero degrees).

• Wildlife may lift the lid slightly, but LidStop reduces how far they can open it.

• Extreme weather conditions may require additional bin positioning.
