That's a great question, and one I wondered about myself before buying my last bin. The answer really depends on the type you get. For a basic, standard-issue plastic or metal city-style bin you might buy at a hardware store, the assembly is usually minimal. Most come partially assembled. Typically, you'll spend 5 to 15 minutes on it. Often, it's just attaching the lid—which usually involves lining up hinges and pushing in a couple of metal or plastic pins—and maybe screwing on the wheels or base. You rarely need more than a screwdriver, and sometimes just your hands. No power tools required. However, if you're getting a more complex model with a foot pedal, a locking mechanism, or built-in compartments, the assembly time can increase to 20-30 minutes. The instructions are generally clear, and all necessary hardware is included. So, for the typical urban trash or recycling bin, expect a quick, straightforward, and truly DIY-friendly setup. It's far from building furniture; it's more of a simple snap-together task.
