And in the given context, "bin" is not American, though I don't know if it's British either.
Here's what most Americans think of as a "bin". As you can see, a bin doesn't even fit under a faucet. We'd use a bucket.

Yes, for a leak, we Americans would probably put a bucket or pail under the drip. Bin is also an American term, but it is usually reserved for a box or squarish storage container of some sort. Bins can be made out of wood, plastic, metal. So you could put a bin under a leak to collect dripping water, but it would not be anyone's first choice.
