We know Australians take pride in maintaining a tidy, inviting backyard. At Keter, we also know one of the biggest eyesores can be rubbish or recycling bins left front-and-centre.

They’re absolutely essential, but they don’t need to stay on display. The good news? Modern bin storage solutions make it easy to tuck those bins out of sight - beautifully and practically.

Today, we’re sharing our top outdoor bin hideaway tips, showcasing the most stylish Keter bin storage solutions on the market, and offering practical advice for discreet waste storage that elevates your entire outdoor aesthetic.

Why Hide Your Bins? The Case for Discreet Waste Storage

Let’s be frank: No one likes seeing (or smelling) rubbish bins by their entertaining area, pool, or front entrance. Yet, they need to be accessible. This is where the right rubbish bin enclosure comes in, offering a smart balance between accessibility and truly attractive garden design. Using the right Keter bin store, you will:

• Instantly elevate your curb appeal.
• Keep bins secure from wind, animals, or pests.
• Maintain easy, everyday access for the whole household.
• Create a more relaxing garden environment.

The Smartest Ways to Hide Your Rubbish Bins Outdoors

1. Use a Dedicated Outdoor Bin Hideaway

The simplest and most effective method for hiding ugly bins is a purpose-built outdoor bin hideaway. The Keter Store-It-Out range is a clear winner—these units blend design with function, catering to both standard wheelie bins and recycling bins.

• Generous capacity – Fits up to two full-size wheelie bins.
• Hydraulic lids & wide double doors – Easy loading, unloading, and cleaning.
• Weatherproof and UV-protected resin – Looks sharp for years in the harsh Australian outdoors.

2. Stylish Bin Storage that Complements Your Backyard

You don’t need to sacrifice looks for practicality. Keter's stylish bin storage are designed with clean lines and subtle colours, so they’ll fit effortlessly with any modern garden design. They double beautifully as a backyard storage box for garden gear, pool toys, or even pet food, making them one of the most versatile pieces in any outdoor space.

3. Multi-Purpose Rubbish Bin Enclosure

Why not opt for a bin enclosure that pulls double duty? Many Keter horizontal sheds can act as both a rubbish bin enclosure and a safe space for garden bins, hoses, BBQ tools, or even seasonal cushions. This is perfect if you want to keep mess hidden with a neat, single solution.

Best Practices for Keeping Bins Out of Sight but Accessible

Here’s how to set up your own garden bin cabinet for day-to-day use:

• Position thoughtfully – Near your home’s side path, or against a garage wall, for the quickest rubbish drop-offs.
• Plan for bin night – Wide double doors and easy handles mean you can roll bins out in seconds.
• Label each bin’s spot – Great for families or shared living, ensuring recycling and general waste always go back in the right spot.
• Opt for lockability – Keep out unwanted critters or overly curious pets with a lockable Keter bin store.

With Keter’s hinged tops, you can even open your bin enclosure lid and your wheelie bin lid at the same time - genius for a tidy system!

Real-Life Keter Bin Hideaway Scenarios

1. Courtyard and Small Gardens
For those of us with compact courtyards or urban gardens, a low-profile Keter wheelie bin cover keeps bins hidden without taking up precious space. Choose a shade that matches your pavers, bricks, or garden beds for an even more seamless look.

2. Large Family Backyards
Have multiple bins? Grouping two or three Keter bin stores side by side creates a streamlined “wall” of clever storage solutions - use one for rubbish, one for recycling, and another for garden tools.

3. Entertainer’s Paradise
If you often host BBQs or garden parties, your Keter bin enclosure also doubles as a prep station or beverage counter in a pinch—just pop a tray on top.
