After asking this question I was advised not to check in binaries into subversion. My question is then what do I do with 3rd party dlls that are required to be in the bin folder? I need to be able checkout a working copy and have that run as a website with all dlls, etc intact.

The answers to your other question suggest you don’t commit any generated files to subversion. DLLs in the bin folder are often built as part of the application, therefore, they should be regenerated rather than stored in subversion.
If the DLLs are 3rd party DLLs for which you don’t have the source code then I would store them in subversion. You should put everything in subversion that is needed to recreate the application. That means your source code and 3rd party libraries or programs.
