We passed by this garbage can container on Lafayette Dekalb Avenue recently and thought it was an interesting twist on the traditional shed that one usually sees. Quite an elegant solution. Any other interesting approaches people have taken to garbage can concealment?

  1. You guys with the rental comments are KILLING me!!!! LOL!!
    I was looking for a quality entry door and a friend told me about this site, WOW!! And this garbage container is by far the most simplest & elegant outdoor designs that will raise the visual property value.

  2. At 116 Lafayette, I have built one out of unstained mahogany that has a cinder block base sunk 16″ below the ground next to the stoop so it is perfect bench height, and it contains 3 hidden garbage cans.
    15 years – no rats

  3. The box was easy to build in about 2 days (you can determine labor costs accordingly). Sadly, our wonderful handyman has moved on to bigger and better things. Re: rodents, it conceals 2 covered heavy duty garbage cans–never, ever seen a rat.

  4. I LOVE the stain color! Very nice and neat looking. As for rats, How can you say there are no rats in that part of the neighborhood. Rats are everywhere! Take a walk at 4am on a nice warm morning and see how many rats you’ll hear/see.
