No. The point of the comment was to clarify the confusion that you are reinforcing.
A "bin" in BrEn does not mean a generic container: it generally means a receptacle for waste, refuse, or garbage.

Yes, and in Massachusetts specifically people often call curbside trash cans "barrels", often without any qualification. "I forgot to bring the barrel into the garage and now there's a racoon family in there". Maybe it's some kind of extreme local regional thing in my area. I grew up in NY and I never heard anyone say it there, but all the locals here seem to say it.
All right. But only curbside ones? ("Kerbside" for me. "Curb" is the verb.)
A bin is any trashcan in BrEn... in your office, in your kitchen or bathroom, behind the house, whatever. So it's still not an ideal match.
