HPL bin shelter for 4 x 240-litre bins, with a letterbox and parcel box

Rubbish bin enclosure with parcel box – a storage solution and parcel collection point in one

A bin storage unit with parcel box combines two tasks that arise at almost every front door: bins need to be hidden from view, and parcels need a secure place to be left when no one is at home. This project presents the solution in a single, clean-lined structure: a four-bin bin storage unit made of HPL, in which one compartment has been repurposed as a post office – complete with an integrated letterbox and parcel compartment for the postman. The remaining three compartments accommodate 240-litre rubbish bins. Instead of three separate units in front of the house, the result is a sleek, cubic façade in grey that blends into the front garden like a piece of furniture.

Three 240-litre bins, a letterbox and a parcel compartment behind a single front

Three of the four compartments each accommodate a large 240-litre bin – enough for general waste, paper and the recycling bin. Each bin is accessible via its own door, so that the bin bag can be dropped in without any fiddling about and the bin can be rolled out easily on collection day. The fourth compartment is reserved for the post: The letterbox is integrated into the front panel, whilst the parcel compartment accommodates parcels that do not fit through the letter slot. This keeps the appearance tidy: no bolt-on boxes, no makeshift shelves – a continuous façade with clean lines.

HPL: weatherproof, UV-resistant and never needs painting again

The box is made from HPL (High-Pressure Laminate) by Trespa, the core material used in all DESIGA products. The material is rainproof, frost-proof and UV-resistant – the colour does not fade even after years in the sun. With an impact resistance of over 40 newtons, HPL can withstand hail or a knock from a bin without flinching. And because the surface is sealed and low-maintenance, rain is enough to wash away any dirt: there’s no need for painting, oiling or waterproofing ever again. An HPL bin shelter is therefore designed to last for decades – with an estimated lifespan of around 50 years.

Well thought-out down to the last detail: doors, dimensions and footprint

The design is key to ensuring a bin shelter works effectively in everyday use. The doors open smoothly and do not knock against the wall or neighbouring bins, whilst the adjustable feet compensate for any unevenness in the paving. When planning, we take into account the dimensions of your bins as well as the swing range of the doors and the route to the street on collection day. The question of whether the enclosure is freestanding or attached to a wall is also factored into the design – resulting in a solution that fits your front garden perfectly, rather than the other way round.

Customisable: size, features and over 250 colours

Whether a 2-, 3- or 4-bin unit, whether for 120- or 240-litre bins: we design our modern waste bin enclosure to suit your number of bins and your space. Special requests such as the parcel compartment shown here, an integrated letterbox or a doorbell can be incorporated into the design – simply get in touch with us. For the finish, you can choose from over 250 HPL colours and finishes: from the grey shown here, through white and steel grey, to wood and Corten steel effects. We’ll send you free HPL colour samples to your home in advance so you can assess how they look right next to your house façade.

Designed, manufactured and installed by a single source

Like all DESIGA products, this bin storage unit is developed in-house and manufactured in Germany. On request, we can carry out the installation directly at your premises – we deliver throughout Europe. The fact that this attention to detail pays off is demonstrated by over 2,000 completed projects and a 5-star rating from more than 220 Google reviews. You can also see just how versatile the combination of a letterbox and bin enclosure can be in our example of a 4-bin enclosure with an integrated letterbox – shown here in black with a side-mounted letterbox.

Especially in these times of daily parcel deliveries, the integrated parcel compartment pays off twice over: the courier leaves the parcel protected from the rain and prying eyes, and you can collect it whenever it suits you – no delivery notice required, and no need to make a detour to a collection point. This turns the bin storage unit into your home’s central reception point.
