The Bin is a storage block that can only store a single item, however many it can store is based on its tier. It will retain its inventory when broken.

Manual Use

To store something in a Bin right-click any side while holding an item or stack. This will store what's in your hand. Double right-click to put the complete amount of an item in your inventory to the bin.

Left-click on the front of the bin to extract a stack. Shift-click to extract a single item.

You can also use the bin while it is in your inventory. Place it in your crafting grid and you can extract stacks by pulling them from the output grid. You can insert single stacks by putting the bin along with a stack in the crafting grid and picking up the bin from the output grid.

Automation

Items can be input from any side using Logistical Transporters.

If you sneak-click the bin with a Configurator it will be placed into auto-eject mode. This is indicated by glowing/lightly colored accents on the front, and top. In this mode it will pump items out of the bottom automatically, whether into a block with an internal storage (e.g. a chest), or into a Logistical Transporter.
