Hot Bin and Heavy Rain

[cycleman66]

Yes, I have exactly the same problem - for some reason the bin is not waterproof and rain does leak in resulting in massive amounts of lechate. I have tried gaffer tape around the port in the lid that houses the carbon filter but that doesn't help. I cant work out where/how it is getting in. Maybe the garage is the answer until the design is modified.

My two Large Hotbins following Heavy Rain let the rain into bin, resulting in pints of lechlate for days afterwards.Hotbin have asked me to trial a new lid designed to prevent this from happening, but sadly this still does not keep contents any drier. I will move bins under cover. ie Garage.
