When I put my shed up I made sure the 4, Wheely bins would go behind it.

@hooey I live in North East Scotland, our council is very keen on recycling, large green bin for land fill, large brown bin for compostable waste, household food etc. If you put garden waste in it, you have to pay £36 a year! Smaller pink bin for tins, cans, foil etc, a blue one for paper and cardboard, then a orange plastic box for glass, and we have a small grey "caddy" for indoors to put your peelings etc in how you don't have to run down the garden every time you have an apple core! My daughter prints of a coloured chart how l know when to put them out, they get collected two weekly, exsept the landfill which is three weekly! Well you did ask! xx

Ours is just behind that trellis panel we attached to our shed as I couldn't stand the sight of it yet it's very easily accessible to take out on bin day.

I painted ours, just leave middle part of handle so bin men can tell which colour it is. I also warned mine week before and they were fine with it

I have a long garden, so mine are in behind fencing, so bin man can get easily to them and I don't have to bring them in every time.
