The wheelie bin is here to stay and some have 2 or 3 for as a household rubbish bin and for garden compost and some councils are introducing ones for recycling material. Even if you opts for bin cleaning services unless you have a large house that can accommodate wheelie bin storage you should think about a wheelie bin cover or a wheelie bin sticker to hide the bin from view.
Stickers and covers are available from a wide variety of suppliers and start at around £13 for stickers that blend in to the background. You can have many designs these days from plants and trees to something more modern and actually design your own with new technology.
Many people that have decided to attempt to hide their wheelie bin from view choose
stickers because they are cheap and easy to add to the bin. As mentioned above they come in
many designs to make an ugly bin cheerful.
These stickers are self adhesive so you simply peel off the design and carefully add it your bin. They are very long lasting because they are made from outdoor vinyl that will not fade in the sun or UK winter weather.
Most people just use one sticker for one side of the bin but you can get stickers for all sides to blend the whole bin out of view.
The top of the range solution is a complete cover and
in this example is a specialist item made from timber that looks like a standard storage box and makes a nice addition
to anyone's garden. The only drawback is it may take longer to actually get to your bin to add in rubbish as you
have to open the lid or the doors for access.
A clever method is to screen the wheelie bin from view
with either a nice willow based fence type solution like the picture here where the bin is simply hidden from view behind
a tasteful screen. Other materials include standard fence panels which you can develop yourself or a complete
shed like structure that has doors at the front and a top as well so the bin is inside the structure.
