Surface Forms

Morphology

binful = bin (transparent) = bin + ful

Clear, regular formation: 'bin' (container) + the quantity/filled-sense suffix '-ful', analogous to 'spoonful' or 'cupful'.

Etymology

Binful is just bin + -ful, like in cupful or handful, where -ful means 'full of' or 'an amount that fills'. So a binful is 'an amount that fills a bin'.
