You didn't say what these bins look like or how they operate.

I have the Gedye bins - the one that look like squat post office
letterboxes - but with just a lid, no drawers.

For some reason, they do tend to dry out. I'm living in Melbourne. The
area I located the bins gets full sun - including a full blast from the
West.

That's interesting. Mine have never dried out. I use them for kitchen
scrap so thats always pretty moist since I put any liquid from stuff I've
cooked in there too. My Gedye bins are shaded from the most severe late
afternoon sun from about 5.30 onwards in summer. Perahps you could put up a
bit of shade cloth on some stakes on the westward side and add some more
liquid.
