The 2009 Nest Hall was quite simple with a news board, SWS portal, nest doors and the Bin Tycoon Plaza portal. The news board consisted of of a title, underlined text that would take you to a website or to a location in-game and text that would describe what the news was about. There was also two major features which were the Scoreboard (King of the Bin Leaderboard) and the Star Challenge where you could complete various challenges and gain stars for your weevil profile.
Each nest can have up to eight rooms. The nest rooms cost about 3000 - 9000 Mulch each. Bin Tycoons can expand their nests at Rigg's Property Shop inside the Shopping Mall. The more nest rooms, the the more XP is given when weevils rate. You earn about 5 -20 XP when they rate it. So you can earn about 1000XP a day. Each room can be coloured using sliders in the top-right corner. Rooms can be filled with furniture of various types, including, but not limited to:
- Wallpaper
- Floors
- Plants
- Ceilings
- Trophies
- Lighting
- Seating
- Photos
- Statues
- Gadgets
To re-arrange a room, open the 'My Stuff Box' (located in the bottom left corner) and drag the furniture into the desired position in the room, to put an item away, drag it to the selection bar or chest. To help with decorating the My Stuff Box has different item categories.

Run by the character Zip, a member of the Kip family, Bin Mart was formally a large department store located inside the Shopping Mall. Bin Mart's stock was mostly cheaper and discounted items compared to its counterpart Nestco next door. There were over 18 item categories such as featured, wallpapers, flooring, lighting, tables, plants, kitchen, bathroom, pets, gadgets, etc. Grouping items together via trends was possible. Each item had a certain delivery time and some items had limited stock.
Bin Mart was a parody of the American supermarket Walmart. Every item purchased at Bin Mart rewarded players with a certain amount of XP and Nest Coolness. Every item required a minimum level before purchase. The Nest Inspector's favourite nest items were labeled via a blue icon. Bin Mart was discontinued in February 2014 and merged together with Nestco to provide a wider shopping experience.
Nest Coolness is the house rating system in Bin Weevils. The more weevils you invite to your nest the higher Nest Coolness and XP you will receive. There are eleven stages of Nest Coolness and each stage requires a rigorous nest rating. Nest Coolness changes at the end of each day of you redecorate. It'll also go up if you get good nest ratings from your guests. Items can increase your Nest Coolness. Displaying XP potion bottles in your nest rooms can also increase your Nest Coolness.
Players can invite weevils to their nest via the nest invite feature. If a player receives enough Nest Coolness ratings they may submit their nest deigns to the Nest Inspector who will reward Nest room designs with a bronze, silver or gold nest trophy depending on the quality. Once your nest is ready for inspection you will receive a blue Nest Inspector camera in your nest hall. Players can decorate rewarded nest trophies in their nest rooms.
