Local residents described seeing a major police presence in the area shortly after 6.15pm on Saturday night.
Greater Manchester Police have since confirmed that the contents found were "not human."
Pictures from the scene show a stretch of police tape, with several houses and a yellow tent inside.
The scene is understood to have been in place for around an hour before officers left the area.
A spokesperson for GMP said: "We were called at around 6.15pm on Saturday 13 November to a report of possible human remains found in a bin on Castleway, Swinton.
"Officers responded and enquiries later established the contents were not human."
