Trash Enclosures

Hello, can anyone recommend a company that builds trash enclosures? I’ve called Citibins, but they seem to work with modular systems that allow little customization. I have a tiny front yard with shrubs in front of the fence, and the 4 bins are right under the windows of the ground floor apartment. So either I have to reconfigure the entire yard by removing all the shrubs and pouring cement, or come up with a creative solution. Suggestions are welcome as are photographs! Thank you very much.

Thanks, all. I’ve explored MetroBox but their dimensions won’t work for my space, unfortunately. Any other similar options out there?

See pic’s of MetroBox in prev comments- They are customized & repel carpenter-bees because they are metal!

Custom enclosures will give you the opportunity to maximize capacity (for trash, recycling, compost (if you’re in an area where that program is up and running) and keep things aesthetically pleasing. The time we’ve spent designing these areas has paid off in terms of making the most of them.

a tip if your placing close to 1st floor apt~aesthetically pleasing metal trash-can enclosures mask odors more than any hardwood….as presented industrially on the subway platforms.

had a similar problem with trash enclosures on my property last year. I ended up contracting with Steve at Urban Exteriors to build some custom enclosures out of ipe… worked out great! Friendly guy, good looking work and they’ve held up well.
