My round dustbin has been replaced by one the modern bins. So I have
an old round dustbin. One of my helpers has suggested I grow a plant
in the bin that grows down the outside or the bin and hides it as much
as possible.

What is a suitable plant?

If it's watertight, you could use it as a butt. One of my friends has
an old bin outside the kitchen door. They collect all the water from
washing/straining vegetables in a bucket under the kitchen tap and tip
it into the bin/butt when full. I just leave the watering-can outside
the door instead. Either way, use the water asap, as it gets smelly.
