Prompted by a response in one of my other threads, I am interested in how and where you store your trash bins. Please include a photo if possible.
At the same time, I’m starting a poll to find out your opinion on whether trash bins should be visible to “outsiders” (such as pedestrians, visitors, guests, passing drivers, Google Maps ;-) etc.) or not.
Unfortunately, I can’t provide a photo yet, as we have not moved in. However, as some of you may already know, I am considering a dense hedge shaped like a spiral, inside of which the blue and yellow bins, as well as the smaller residual waste bin, would be placed. We are not using a food waste bin, since I plan to set up one or more rotating composters.

According to our zoning plan, they are also not allowed to be in view, but "boxing in" them is permitted. I would basically agree with that. The zoning plan also refers to “waste containers” that must not be visible. But after emailing the building authority, the response was that the metal boxes must also not be visible. Our city planners interpret their own zoning plans as they see fit…

Fummelbrett!11 Apr 2022 13:54We have a triple trash bin enclosure placed on the side of the carport. It is out of sight and large enough to also fit the yellow recycling bag.
My mother-in-law keeps her bins in the shed.
In the neighborhood, there are either trash bin enclosures or the bold display of the unwanted bins directly by the street.

A few years ago there was already a post about trash bins, and someone even shared a cellar lift. Unfortunately, the forum search isn’t very helpful.I have to fully agree with the second sentence, but the post isn’t that old: https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/muelltonnen-verstecken-welche-moeglichkeiten-gibt-es.36296/#post-430474https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

The answer to "why" is that, in my opinion, they are unattractive, and most of us try to avoid unsightly elements around our homes and gardens... I wanted to understand why the storage of trash bins is so often exempt from this. Placing trash bins so that others can see them (except on collection days), but you yourself cannot, seems contradictory to me. I was not concerned with the why, but rather, like Yvonne, the question of whether it is allowed.
I have more of a (subjective and certainly not representative) impression that trash bins stand out primarily because front yards nowadays tend to be designed in a clinical way. In our yard, there are plants and bushes, and I think the average passerby doesn’t really notice the bins. Of course, if everything is paved over, the bins become much more noticeable.

It looks nice!
We have neighbors with something similar. And you can even plant something on top 😎
