Hide Your Trash Cans to Preserve the Beautiful Look of the House

If we start hunting down storage sheds the first thing we hit upon is the shed. Situated a little way off your home a shed can not only hide the trash can also it may cut off the odor emanating from the shed!  The other advantage would be you don’t have to stuff in all the garbage of your house in one trash can! A shed can contain more than one trash can! Just deck up the outside of the shed by coloring it and the whole look of the shed changes. The unsightly part is taken care of and nobody would complain of bad odor! Now, what’s not to like about that? Hiding trash cans has never been this easy!

Okay, so you don’t have a shed? No sweat! Hide them in the ground! There is novel way to put your trash in the ground.  Like an oversized bag, you can put your trash inside those bags and store it in a hidey –hole. Better still you can store them in a compost heap and the trash can won’t be visible to anyone, neither your prying passers-by nor your nit-picking neighbors. Don’t forget to put a few planters on top of the heap and you would have a beautiful façade to hide your not so beautiful trash can!

Your trash can easily find its place behind a hedgerow.  A neat hedgerow enhances the visual appeal of the garden. Nobody would dream that behind that carefully manicured hedgerow lies a trash can!

The focus would obviously shift from those trash cans to your wonderfully kept garden!
