What material is your Bin Box?   That can make a difference in what you
might use.

     The most 'effective' solvent for most Epoxies is Acetone.  That will
remove most all types of epoxy, but it's volatile  stuff.  Alcohol also
works, but more slowly, on most epoxies.  Hot detergent/soapy solution will
work sometimes, too.   Epoxies can be different and react differently to
the various solvents.  I'm guessing you'd dissolve the labels and printing
on the other 'goo-ed up' tubes and jars that are epoxy covered if you try
to use acetone to clean up your mess.  You might be best off just starting
over.

  Having 5-minute Epoxy in any tool box without it being in an air tight
package of some sort....that is like carrying honey on a backpacking
trip....eventually it WILL get out and get all over everything, making a
stinky sticky mess....as you seem to have discovered with your epoxy.
