Hello everyone,
Our house is almost ready to move into, so now we’re planning the garden. I’ve been looking for a way to hide the trash bins for a while, as I don’t find them very attractive standing out in the driveway. We have a 240-liter (63 gallons) organic waste bin, a 240-liter (63 gallons) paper recycling bin, a 120-liter (32 gallons) general waste bin, and also the yellow recycling bag. I have searched a lot online for bin storage boxes, but nothing has really impressed me so far. Especially since most options cost well over 1000 euros. Maybe I’m wrong, but at the moment, I think there must be something more affordable?
Ideally, we’d like a solution that can be integrated into the garden fence or wall. Unfortunately, the driveway isn’t flat but slopes slightly uphill. It’s really only a small incline, but it might already rule out cabinet-style solutions. I read in one article that the unit needs to be placed on level ground.
I’m still waiting to see if the landscape gardener has any ideas. Otherwise, I’ve considered putting up a bike shed in the front yard that could also fit the trash bins. But that would probably require a building permit / planning permission due to its size…
My biggest dream is also a parcel box integrated into the trash bin enclosure.
Long story short: How have you solved this?

In our case, it is open, but I have also seen it with doors. Instead of the post, you just need to use door posts at the front.
The material for the double gate, from what I quickly saw on eBay, is about 150 euros, then 2 corner posts at about 50 euros each, the mesh 30 euros, and so on.

I think that’s great. My wife just shakes her head. I shake my head too. It’s almost a perfectly over-engineered product that discourages use. Even as a man, I immediately spot all the mistakes in the picture (but I wouldn’t leave the trip to the trash bin to my wife either, the husband in the picture probably handles the roller duty).
