The nearby Koummune restaurant had to be evacuated as a result because the fire started near an extractor system, which then brought smoke into the building.
The fire service sent two appliances who were able to get the fire under control quickly and then ventilated the building.
The operators of Kommune stressed the bin or fire was not connected to its building in any way.
They said the incident showed the system in place for dealing with such incidents works well and praised staff for the calm and efficient way they dealt with the situation.
