The episode opens in the side yard of the Heelers' house. It's nighttime. In the center of the screen are two wheelie bins, one with a red lid, and one with a yellow lid. Bluey and Bingo run in from screen left, followed by Bandit. Bluey is wearing a karate gi with a white belt. Bingo carries a box of cardboard trash, and Bandit is carrying a bin bag. Their breath forms fog clouds in the air.
Bluey and Bingo: Hi, bins.
Bandit flaps the lid of the red bin, making a puppet. He speaks for it in a deep, gravelly voice.
Red Bin: Hey, those dogs are back. Ooh, they got food. Gimme. Gimme.
Bandit puts the garbage in the red bin.
Red Bin: Ahh. Om nom nom nom. Green curry. Oh, that's good. Om nom nom nomf. Burnt rice. Oh, that's not so good. Oh wait— are these— yeah—
Bandit shakes the bin back and forth as it "chews" excitedly.
Red Bin: SPRING ROLLS! Om nom nom nom nom. Yah om nom nom.
Bandit steps over to the yellow bin, which he gives a gentle, higher-pitched voice.
Yellow Bin: Hey man, what about me?
Bingo: Just cardboard tonight, yellow bin.
Bingo dumps the box of cardboard into the yellow bin.
Yellow Bin: That's cool, man. I love cardboard.
Bluey and Bingo: (giggle)
The scene changes to another view of the side yard. Bluey walks in, followed by Bandit. Bandit is pulling both bins behind him; Bingo is hanging from the handles of the red bin. Bluey takes big breaths, purposely making fog clouds.
Bandit: Hey, how was kindy, Bingo?
Bingo: Good. There's a new kid. His name's Banjo.
Bandit: Oh, way to go. What's he like?
Bingo frowns for a moment.
Bingo: I don't know.
The scene cuts to a wider view of the cul-de-sac. The moon is out; it is a waxing quarter moon. The Heelers' neighbour Doreen is putting out her bins. She's wearing curlers. The Heelers enter from screen left, and Bandit starts positioning the bins.
Bandit: Hi, Doreen.
Doreen waves.
Doreen: Hiii. Ooh, your bin's full. Mr. Crow will be coming tomorrow.
Bluey throws a few punches, showing off her karate moves.
Bluey Yeah, Mr. Crow!
Red Bin: 'Night, girls.
Bluey and Bingo: 'Night, bins.
Doreen climbs the steps to her porch. Bluey and Bingo climb on Bandit's back for a piggyback ride. Bluey waves to the moon.
Bluey: 'Night, Moon.
TITLE CARD - Bin Night
Bluey [voiceover]: This episode of Bluey is called Bin Night.
The scene changes to a close up of the bins. It is now morning, and a crow has perched on the red bin. It's too full for the lid to close all the way, and he pecks at the bin bag through the opening.
The camera pulls back a bit. With a loud, tuneless whistle, Bluey jumps into frame playing a recorder. Mr. Crow is startled and flies away.
Bluey: (laughs)

Bingo: (laughs)

Chilli: Hey, Bingo, why don't you try and play with Banjo today?

Bingo: Okay, Mama.
Bluey runs in from down screen and hops up to sit on the bottom step. She points off screen.
Bluey": Bin man's here.

Bandit: Hey, how was kindy, Bingo?
Bingo: Good. Wait. No. Bad.
