Since, like many others, I would like to hide my trash bins, I am considering planting a snail-shaped hedge with the bins placed in the middle. This way, they would only be visible when standing directly in front of them. What do you think of this idea?
Does anyone have experience with this?
(You might be familiar with the snail-shaped showers used in bathrooms. Something like that, but as an evergreen hedge.)

Make sure the waste disposal company does not change. We now have 2 tons (approximately 2.2 US tons) more. Previously, there were only round and flat green bins. Now there is an additional blue bin for glass and a yellow one for plastic film. Those who have boxes now need to somehow expand them.
Round, flat, green, gray. It can get quite confusing. I understand why many people don’t sort their waste correctly (for example, my wife still throws milk cartons into the paper recycling).
I can’t remember which country it was, but there they put everything into one bin (I think except cardboard), and the waste is professionally and mechanically separated by the disposal companies. From a whole system perspective, this is actually more cost-effective. Please don’t ask me for the source, I’ve forgotten it. However, I do know that I read about it.

The snail solution doesn’t have to be permanent. It’s just a hedge. ;-)… “Just a hedge” While searching for the Left Neighbor thread, I ended up here.
As mentioned before, a snail takes up a lot of space. You hardly even see the snail itself; most likely, you only notice a clump of greenery.
You also have to plan for, buy, plant, and take into account a hedge’s development over several years.
It seems to me that you might be planning too much hedge 😉

The path is always a bit dirty, and depending on the wind direction, debris tends to accumulate there. At my previous house, the paths to and from the garbage bins were never dirty. :-) And where would the dirt come from if the hedge is dense and the bins are closed? ;-) If I go through with it, I will definitely share photos here. Would you like to show how and where your garbage bins are stored? I haven't liked any of the options I've seen online or in real life so far. According to the development plan for our street, garbage bins must not be visible, which I think is a good rule. Most people make a great effort to place them near the road while still keeping them hidden.
I’m talking about leaves, etc., not the trash from the bins.
The snail catches the wind and everything it carries with it.
The hedge also occasionally loses leaves or needles.
I have plenty of space. Therefore, I keep all the bins in the ventilated garage. Always take out the waste dry, especially when working, tinkering, or fixing things in the garage nearby.
If I didn’t have the space, I would have an enclosure for the bins. Depending on the house type, the enclosure would match in shape and material.
