**Problem: Unattractive, cumbersome recycling bins need to be tucked out of sight outdoors and yet easily accessed.** **Solution 1:** This custom-built unit on a front porch not only hides and keeps recycling and compost bins in order behind its sliding doors, but also defines a cozy seating area and provides privacy from the neighbours.
