A woman has been found dead in a charity bin on Queensland's Gold Coast.

The woman's body was found partially inside the bin outside a Burleigh Heads shopping centre by a member of the public just after 7:00am.

The person who found her was donating clothes.

Police said they were not treating the death as suspicious, and the woman died as a result of "misadventure".

A dark green ute that police believe belonged to the woman was parked next to the bins, indicating she drove herself to the scene.

Fire crews were brought in to help access to the bin.

A report is being prepared for the Coroner.

Police will prepare a report for the coroner. (ABC News: Jennifer Huxley)
