The Camping Trash Bin Built for the Long Haul
Out bush or by the beach, rubbish is part of the deal. But that doesn’t mean it has to be a drama. If you’ve ever tied a bin bag to a bull-bar or chased a runaway liner across a campsite, you’ll know: there’s got to be a better way.
Kelmatt’s sorted it. These garbage bins aren’t just tough — they’re clever and useful. Made in Australia, made to last, and designed for life on the move.
Why bother with a proper camping trash can?
Because soft plastic bin bags don’t stand a chance once you leave the suburbs.
- Wind, dust, and wildlife make quick work of a loose liner
- Smelly bags don’t belong inside your rig
- Space is limited — your gear needs to earn its keep
Kelmatt bins keep your trash contained, your setup tidy, and your nerves intact.
What makes the Kelmatt camping bins different?
Simple. They work.
Three versatile designs, built from heavy-duty 700gsm ripstop PVC, all are:
- Easy to clean
- Built for tough conditions
- Designed to attach where you need them
Anywhere Bin
- Hangs from an awning, tree, spare tyre — wherever you’ve got a hook or a strap
- Lid stays open with a Velcro tab (for those long shots from the chair)
- Comes with a 6ft lashing strap
- Fits standard 3.8 gal bin liners
Good for: camp kitchens, quick clean-ups, or extra storage.
Wheelie Bin (with or without lid)
- Attaches to your caravan or vehicle spare wheel or a tree with a solid strap
- Choose open-top for ease or zipped lid to keep wildlife out
Good for: dual-axle setups (one bin for garbage, one for recycling), shoes and clutter control.
Awning Bin
- Slides straight into your awning drum or rope track
- Peg it down so it doesn’t flap in the breeze
- Lid flips open and stays there till you’re done
Good for: keeping smelly trash out of your living space, or long-shot dunks during happy hour.
How does it stack up to other 4WD trash cans?
Some fall apart after a few trips. Others don’t stay where you put them. Kelmatt’s bins don’t mess around:
- Field-tested durability
- Simple, smart design
- Dead easy to hose out
- Built with the same gear you see in field packs and tarps
You’re not just buying a garbage bag. You’re investing in gear that keeps your site clean, your van fresh, and your setup dialled.
How to use them
- Fits standard 3.8 gal liners
- Attach via straps, hooks or slides depending on model
- Use for trash, recycling, or general gear storage
- Hose it out after the trip
- Folds flat when not in use
Note: they’re water-resistant, not waterproof — stitching perforations mean a bit of seepage if things get sloshy. Don’t fill them with soup.
