There is a Y shaped crack that stretches the whole way across the bottom

I plan to cut this plastic laundry detergent container and glue it over the cracks

Flexseal!

Use flex tape. Might cost more than a new bin though.

get a soldering iron and melt the crack

Then reinforce with a doubler.

This is 100% your best solution. Hot soldering iron, poke\stitch along crack lines, on both sides, then smooth the inner cracks to seal.

melting plastic together is not strong

I disagree, my job for 23years was melting plastic pipelines together. This application doesn't require ridiculous strength.

did you use a soldering iron or chemical melting

PP, PE, HDPE, PVDF should all be done without chemicals. PVC is the only thing I'd consider doing Methyl Ethyl Ketone jointing with.
