Garbage and recycling storage ideas

[Zedder]

I'm about to start a garage makeover and would love to get some ideas on storing our garbage cans and recycling bins in the garage, but out of sight. We currently use the rack shown below and it would be great if I could put some sliding doors on it...but I have no idea how to do that. Would love to hear your thoughts or see how you store the trash!

If you put doors on it it will be a big PITA to put stuff in the cans..
You already have to pull them out to access them

Hate to spoil the fun but you may have the prettiest trash storage on here. Thats already pretty slick.

I've been looking as well since my local dump makes me now seperate everything. I need like five bins or something.
Like said sliding doors **** and I don't see doing swinging doors unless you build a closet. You could probably mount to the metal but sides would still be open

When they started that **** here, I just began leaving it all by the road for pickup. I'm not sorting their own **** just so they can sell it twelve times.

Nonsense. They demand you work for free, when you already pay the service to remove things for you.

I agree with your point but would like to offer a different point of view. My family runs a resturant and our small town will not pick up any recycling what so ever. I know they are getting paid to remove it at the end and it is free labor for us to sort it but....

We actually bought a dumpster just to hold cardboard for the store that i personally load into my truck and take to the recycle center just to save 2-300 a month on extra garbage puckups. Boxes fill dumpsters fast so its worth it to me.

I'd do swinging hinged doors if you can otherwise its a constant chess game in and out with slider doors. I'm assuming all the cans go out on the same day.

A hot setup would have "slots" in the doors where you could simply pitch recycle items into the appropriate slot and have it land in the bin. I don't think this would work for actual trash especially if food scraps are chucked and need a degree of air-sealing....
