Our timber trash/recycling storage containers in the front of our brownstone in henry st BH are due for replacement with pieces falling off etc.
I’ve seen this model called MetroBox.biz in hicks st and although they dont have a company phone number listed, tracked down the person who is the private importer of these (available in august) unfortunately at $1200 each (we would need 2) more than i want to really spend.
I’ve seen some rubbermain ones befre but would really prefer not to go that route.
Any suggestions on alternatives?
@OneFineFriday – i agree they look even better in person than in the photo but at $1200 wayy overpriced, maybe $600 i’d buy.
http://www.Metrobox.biz is the website.
@brooklynarchitect – fair enough, everyone has a right to their opinion, i like the look of it, just too expensive.
@Mopar – the problem is this is what we have and they fail after only a few years. I’d prefer to buy something in metal for a change.
What about an enclosed wood thing with a top and front that open, maybe in cedar with diagonal boards? Just like in California (only those are redwood)? I recently priced cedar for a raised bed though — bet it would cost $500 to $700 just for the materials.
Kaufman Iron will make one to measure for you. They have a website Kaufmaniron.com. Many ironworks places will make something like this.
one word: ugly.
I saw some nice ones as I walked down President from 7th to 5th – there are small tags on them w/ the mfr.
This is one of the nicest trash/recycling storage containers that I think I’ve ever seen. While it may cost a bit more than I’d prefer to spend, I also only need one so it might just be worth it. I would love to know how to contact the importer that you tracked down for this model. Could you please share the information? Thanks.
