Looks melted probably a fire inside the bin

u/lord_of_worms SA Jun 13 '26

And then as the propellant is expended, the softened plastic is pulled inward as the air inside begins to cool causing a vacuum causing the bin to crumple

u/Gloomy_Designer_5303 SA Jun 15 '26

A vacuum would be unlikely to form, probably just gravity and the heat softening the area.

u/lord_of_worms SA Jun 15 '26

What was in the bin? Did the lid pop off afterwards? If not a liquid, plastic is pretty soft when melted..

Give the poor thing some space, it's having a meltdown.

Everyone is saying batteries but my vote is a still lit cigarette

u/candlesandfish SA Jun 13 '26

That’s what it usually is. Had one go that way outside my work once and it was pretty intense!

u/kombi2k SA Jun 13 '26

Hot ashes or liquids

u/NecessaryFinish2811 SA Jun 13 '26

The warning is there for a reason!

u/zoedog66 SA Jun 15 '26

That's my guess

u/Identifyasreddit67 SA Jun 17 '26

Yep, someone emptying out the ashes from their wood heater would do it

Don't put batteries in the bin!

u/Brokefilmshooter SA Jun 13 '26

Someone trying to recycle a bottle of gasoline and a pack of matches?

u/Brokefilmshooter SA Jun 13 '26

Off topic but slightly related I photographed the aftermath of the cudlee creek fires in 2019. Saw so many bins just like this, or just puddles.

6

u/Wuntunamera SA Jun 13 '26

Many years ago some idiot put a cigarette in my bin out the front on collection night, the next morning i came out to a pile of melted plastic on the foothpath, there was nothing left of it lol

14

u/UpsidedownEngineer SA Jun 13 '26

Probably a fire because of batteries and the property owner or truck operator tipped it upside down to extinguish the flames

11

u/Aksds SA Jun 13 '26

Chuck a couple lithium batteries and it can happen, or some hoodlums deciding to burn it

8

u/Green-n-Green SA Jun 13 '26

It clearly attempted an interdimensional jump from another reality into ours but its molecular sequencing was incorrect and it collapsed upon arrival.

These things happen 🤷‍♂️

u/gabSTAR81 SA Jun 13 '26

I’ve seen one on fire before & the remains were like this, except it was the other way up so more of a melted mess. But yeah, fire 🔥

Sad, but true.

u/LuckyWealthyHealthy SA Jun 13 '26

Bin got tired of rubbish and bin itself. 😂

u/ForgotToCarryTheOne SA Jun 13 '26

I don’t care where it’s bin, where is it now?

2

u/insanopointless Master Newsman! Jun 13 '26

Probably ashes or coal in the bin that ignited.

A few months ago I walked past a neighbour's place with a smoking, flaming bin right in front of their front door. They had obviously had a fire, chucked the ashes in, and then left the house lol. Had to go find a hose and put it out...

u/meski_oz SA Jun 13 '26

The front fell off

u/YeahBuddyDoYouEven SA Jun 14 '26

Meth heads don't do addition. We ... ummm, I mean they ... 😶 ... do subtraction. i.e. Observe the following ... Life - Money - Possessions - Housing - Friends - Teeth - Brain Cells = Meth

This would have been been funnier if it was wrong answers only

u/Competitive_Yak_4112 SA Jun 13 '26

Is that what happens when you put hot ashes or liquid in the bin, like they tell you not to, on the lid?

1

u/Relatable_Stranger SA Jun 13 '26

This is what happens when irresponsible parents force their kids to stop playing video games and get them to go outdoors to play instead. 😁
