Bin Door Refurbish
Anyone have any ideas on how to remove the years of sunbaked remnants of 100 mile an hour tape from this bin door?
I'm going to repaint it, so as long as the answer does leave a trace I should be good.

Sounds stupid but try water just to see. You *might* get really lucky. After that, simple green full strength, maybe some WD40. Rubbing alcohol as a next step.
Lacquer thinner will melt the plastic, as would denatured alcohol.

Lacquer thinner, lighter fluid or paint thinner would be your best best, that duct tape is nasty stuff.
Like Toruki says, watch out for the plastic, too much contact with the solvents might not be what you're looking for.
A good detergent wash, followed some rubbing alcohol before painting should make them look good.
Here's a video for some products:

How are you going to reattach them to the bins?

I would give "de-solv-it electrical and cable cleaner" a try. It's based on orange peel extracts (d-lemonene) and I've been using it to remove goo for some time. In general it's not aggressive on plastic but a try on a a hidden corner is always a good practice. If stay away from thinners and especially acetone.

Don't use sandpaper! 220 grit will remove the tape residue but will also damage surface texture of the plastic. You'll end up having to sand the whole thing and it's gonna look weird.
Goo Gone sounds like the winner here.
