Keep Your Property Cleaner and More Organized
Until collection day arrives, garbage bags and blue recycling bags often end up sitting on porches, in garages, beside the house, or out in the open.
They can attract birds and animals, blow around in strong winds, and leave your property looking untidy.
This garbage box gives your bags a dedicated place outdoors, helping keep everything contained until it's time for pickup.
Many homeowners even build two matching boxes—one for garbage and one for recycling—for a clean, organized roadside collection area.
Built for Practical Everyday Use
This design isn't just attractive—it's built to last.
The unique hidden dowel hinge system provides smooth lid operation without bulky exposed hinges, while raised feet help keep the wood off damp ground.
Built from common dimensional lumber, it's an enjoyable woodworking project that results in a practical addition to your property.
