Stockpiles that use bins are [[ammo]], [[armor]], [[bar]]s/[[block]]s, [[cloth]], [[Currency|coins]], [[finished goods]], [[gem]]s, [[leather]] and [[weapon]]s. [[Food]] stockpiles use [[barrel]]s instead of bins. Other stockpiles do not use anything at all. | Stockpiles that use bins are [[ammo]], [[armor]], [[bar]]s/[[block]]s, [[cloth]], [[Currency|coins]], [[finished goods]], [[gem]]s, [[leather]] and [[weapon]]s.

If you have a bin that will not be moved to any stockpile, check the contents to make sure that some stockpile will accept that mixture of items. Dwarves will not sort items from bins at the Trade Depot or on the ground. If you have a bin with mixed contents which you wish to have sorted between two or more stockpiles, you must first make a temporary stockpile which accepts all types. Then change the settings on the temporary stockpile to force out the items which you want moved to another bin. Then finally destroy the temporary stockpile to move the now-sorted bin. | If you have a bin that will not be moved to any stockpile, check the contents to make sure that some stockpile will accept that mixture of items.
