Binweevils is a popular online virtual world for children aged 6-12. It follows the real creatures 'weevils' and the game is set inside a bin. Binweevils currently has over 2 million users from the UK and Ireland.

Setting
Binweevils is generally set inside a bin, with most of the areas being themed this way (eg: Slam's Party Box is an upside down box lodged inside the bin.) However, over the years, BinWeevils has become to go off target, and some of the new areas (permanent or not)don't set in with the bin theme (eg: Flums Fountain replaced inks orange peel. Flums Fountain is clean and grand, while inks orange peel was filthy.)

History
Binweevils first appeared on the Nickelodeon TV show as short, 5 minute cartoons. Nickelodeon then launched a virtual world following these cartoons, which appeared on their own website. However, the virtual world started to get more popular than the TV Show so it was expanded, and eventually got its own domain name and became an independent virtual world.!

New bin
In April 2010, BinWeevils announced that the website would be getting a makeover. BinWeevils was closed to all players for one night, and the new website was launched the following day, known commonly as the 'new bin.' Despite the enormous change, many people wanted them to change back the old bin. The "New Bin" still remains.
