If they were designed properly then lack of oxygen supplied to the bin 
should prevent fires.  I recall V/Line trains having bins but they may
be better staffed.  I haven't seen many people smoke on a train either,
even those who look like they don't care don't tend to smoke on the train.

Perhaps paper recycling bins at stations would be better though (most
people would probably use them).
