Abstract It is two to four arms which will connect to a wheelie bin by clip or strap depending on the bin design. The arms are extendable and will retract to be adjusted to the desired height. The arms will be hinged and have the ability to pivot out from the body of the bin to form an 'A'frame. The bottom of the attached arms that meets the ground has a vertical bar attached to form an upside-down 'T'shape. This upside-down 'T'shape offers support for wind resistance from various wind directions. It includes nonslip surface on the bottom that meets the ground. The extendable arm clicks into place with a teeth system. When the bin collection truck lifts the bin to empty it's content the arms retract from the'A'frame position to sit close to the body of the bin. The arms retract to be shorter than the adjusted length. This assists the user to wheel or move the bin as the wheelie bin is designed to do. The Wind Protector Arms keep the wheelie bin from blowing over. It assists with keeping the bin upright and content contained within the bin. At the top end of the bin, when extended into the'A'frame position, the arm is designed to hook over the lid of the bin to prevent it from blowing open. Essentially, the bin will be restricted from blowing over as well as blowing open. This will further assist to avoid animals from getting into the bin and removing its content. The'A'frame positioning of the attached arms also prevents animals from knocking the bin over.
