Ugly garbage bins

“Smelly bin, smelly bin, what are they putting in you? Smelly bin, smelly bin, It’s not your fault.” (Apologies to Phoebe, “Friends”)

If there’s one significant thing that detracts from your home’s appearance, it is the over-powering presence of the behemoth garbage or wheelie bins that we are all forced to deal with.

Yes, we get it. We all have to deal with these multi-colour-lidded giants and of course they serve a very necessary function that we couldn’t live without in modern society.

That doesn’t mean however that we can’t do something about concealing them.

Critically look at the front of your home – but do it from across the street. This is what everyone sees when walking past.

What sticks out instantly? The coloured lids and dominance of the garbage bins. Sometimes even patched up, or held together with gaff tape. Dirty and knocked around. Nothing appealing about them!

Nevertheless, you have to put them somewhere – and somewhere convenient. This usually means at the side or front of the house, in full view of the neighbourhood and this detracts from your home’s vibe and the amenity of the neighbourhood’s streetscape.

What if you could just …. hide them away from view? Still have the convenience of access, but not so that everyone can see them.

What a great idea!

Hideaway’s Garbage / Wheelie Bin enclosures do more than just conceal your unsightly bins, they:

Provide shade and thereby inhibit smelly bin syndrome during hot summers.

Stops wild ground animals from scratching around the bins for scraps.

Did you know that our Aussie sulphur crested cockatoos are now learning how to open garbage bin lids with their beaks or feet to get to the food scraps inside? What’s worse, is that cockatoos that have mastered this trick are now teaching other flocks of cockatoos how to do it. If you don’t believe us, just Google it – it’s spreading in Sydney suburb by suburb right now! These cheeky birds are coming to a suburb near you.

If you elect to have the lockable gates at the front option, you can stop other people from using your garbage bins to drop their waste into your bin.

Enhances your street appeal and provides a significantly more pleasurable ‘walk-past’ resort style vibe for your visitors who may have to walk past your bins to get access to your backyard.

Be seen as the trend-setter in your community by differentiating yourself from everyone else and showcasing pride in your home’s presentation.

There is a size configuration to suite every bin layout combination (including the oversized bins): just choose the layout combination that best suits your location, or simply contact us if you want a customised design.

Available in 26 colours with 10mm airgaps to allow for good all-round ventilation.

Check out our “How to Assemble” video on the Assembly page to see how easy, and how little time it easy it takes, to assemble the Hideaway Garbage Bin enclosure.
