LESS MESS. LESS STRESS. MORE IMPACT.
Meet Magna Clip™
A simple wheelie-bin lid solution being developed to help prevent wind-blown litter, unwanted bin access and weather-related mess.
Now preparing for community testing in Melbourne.
ONE SMALL PROBLEM CAN TRAVEL A LONG WAY
An open or unsecured wheelie-bin lid can leave household waste exposed to wind, rain and animals.
Once litter escapes onto streets and into drains, it can travel through our waterways and into the wider environment.
What if a small change at the bin could help stop the problem closer to its source?
MEET MAGNA CLIP™
Small clip. Big idea.
Magna Clip™ is a passive magnetic wheelie-bin lid retention concept designed to help keep the lid closed during normal use while allowing it to release during standard bin collection.
No switches. No complicated mechanisms. No change to the way households normally use their bin.
HOW DOES MAGNA CLIP WORK?
HOLD
Helps resist unwanted lid opening.
RELEASE
Designed to release when the bin is inverted during collection.
RESET
Returns to normal use once the bin is placed back down.
HELP US TEST A SMALL IDEA WITH A BIG PURPOSE.
LESS is preparing a small-scale community pilot to test Magna Clip™ in real-world household conditions. Participants will help us understand how the concept performs during everyday use — from wind and weather to normal bin collection.
