WheelieMate™ Gen-2

Sound familiar?
Every week.
Same thing.
The lid won’t close. You push the rubbish down by hand. Again. And if your bin is overflowing on collection day, it might not be collected at all.
Lid won't close
Rubbish piles up faster than collections happen. Every week, the bin overflows before pickup day.
You touch the rubbish
The only way to make room is to push it down by hand. Not hygienic. Not fun. Not something you should have to do.
Extra collections cost money
Some councils charge for extra bin lifts or bags. An overflowing bin is a waste of money as well as space.
There's a better way.
Meet the WheelieMate.
A lever-action wheelie bin compactor that hooks under your bin handles and presses soft rubbish down to create up to 40% more space — without you ever touching the waste.
Engineered to stop at the right depth. Empties freely on bin day. Works on any standard NZ wheelie bin.
Simple by design.
Three steps. That's it.
Set it up once. Use it every bin day.
01
Hook on
Galvanised hooks slot under your wheelie bin handles. No tools, no drilling. Fits any standard NZ 80L–360L bin.
02
Push the lever
Stand upright and push the handle down. Mechanical advantage does all the work — no bending, no effort.
03
Fit more in
Up to 40% more space. Repeat whenever needed. On collection day, the bin empties cleanly — every time.

"Family of five. We were forever battling the bin. The WheelieMate has been a game changer."
We hear you.
The questions everyone asks before buying.
Answered straight.
Won't the rubbish get stuck?
No. WheelieMate is engineered to stop at a restricted depth, creating extra space without compacting rubbish into a solid block at the bottom of your bin. This means your rubbish can empty freely on collection day while still giving you more usable space.
Will my bin be too heavy for collection?
Highly unlikely. Most New Zealand council wheelie bins have weight limits of around 70–80kg, and soft household rubbish doesn’t weigh much — even when compacted. Used sensibly, you’ll stay well within normal limits. We’ve sold to 2,000+ Kiwi households with no collection issues reported.
How long will it actually last?
Built from reinforced powder-coated steel with galvanised hooks and designed for years of outdoor weekly use. Try it risk-free with our 30-day money-back guarantee, plus a 12-month replacement warranty if anything goes wrong under normal use.
Will it fit my bin?
If you have a standard NZ wheelie bin between 80L and 360L, it fits. That covers the vast majority of Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch households. Red bin, yellow bin, green bin — all good.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.8 / 5 from 140 reviews.
Great, strong bin compactor and easy to put together. We run a holiday park with lots of bins, so it’s really useful. Very happy with it!
I got a compacto and an off brand from mighty ape. Compacto is quite a bit more study than its competitor. Twice the amount? Dunno. I've only used it once. Not a bad tool
Fast delivery. Works well. Way better than climbing in bin
Store owner replied: Thanks so much, Dave — great to hear it’s working well for you, and even better that you don’t need to climb in the bin anymore!
Honestly, this thing's a game changer. It's really helped me fit way more rubbish in my bin without the usual mess. Came well packaged and feels really solid. Definitely worth it!
Store owner replied: Thanks so much, Tom! Love hearing it’s made a real difference. Appreciate you taking the time to leave a review — stoked it’s working well for you 🙌
Didn't think I needed this, but now I wouldn't go without it. Easy to use, solid build, and it really does give you more space. Bonus points for the clean packaging.
Store owner replied: Appreciate that, Jason — love when something turns out more useful than expected! Stoked to hear it’s made a difference and that the packaging made a good first impression too. Thanks heaps for the support! 🙌
I think the idea is great but it has slipped when being used. Nuckles have been scraped and bruised and I do worry about it flying towards your face when it slips also
Saves jumping in bin to squash it down
It did exactly what it is supposed to do quite ingenious., so simple
So easy the 10 year old operates. Love it
Fantastic NZ product and very easy and effortless to use. It's so good not risking any cuts pushing down the rubbish by hand and much cleaner. I'm impressed with the robust quality of the product too, it'll last forever so well worth the investment!
Works well. Having a large family it gives us more room in our bins each week.
Works really well
Thank you! This has literally solved a big problem. Too many kids and despite having a larger bin, it was constantly just about overflowing. No longer! What a wonderful invention.
Awesome product team. Well made and easy to use. In Dunedin our bins only get picked up fortnightly and they are only a medium size so for a family they aren't big enough, even when we recycle everything we can. This has been a great help. No more overflowing bins.
Works awesome Just fits the little wheelie bins as well stoked 👍🏾👍🏾
Easy to use. Does a good job. Saves me climbing up a ladder and balancing precariously in order to compact the rubbish, saving taxpayer (ACC) $$$.
Pretty Cool Simple idea Works A Treat Does The Job Nicely 👍🏾
Used for the first time love it.
Brought 3 one for me and one each for kids with larger family’s
We are using the wheelieMate to crush down our coffee cups to be able to fit more in the bins. They are light but take a lot of room. The WheelieMate crushes them down nicely.
Love it
Great product, so easy to use. Highly recommend it.
Does exactly what it’s meant to do
Great Product.
Awesome product….👏🏾
Great product.saving me money at the tip
Works well , great purchase
Worked like a dream.
Fab piece of equipment.
Love it
Absolutely well worth the money it does exactly as described bery happy with purchase
Finally I can fit extra bags of rubbish in the bin in fact the bin was so heavy to push across the lawn I got a nice surprise, I’m already saving money and being a tidy kiwi.
So easy to use so my 10yr granddaughter said as it's her job to do the rubbish.
Excellent design, minus a half star for the coating finish (a little thin and susceptible to corrosion) but otherwise a very good buy.
Very robust product that works as described. The delivery was quick and the packaging ensured it arrived safely. Highly recommend this product!
Great tool!
