Perfect recycling storage for compact spaces - transform limited garden areas with Bluum's innovative low-profile design and green roof technology


Smart Storage for Smaller Spaces

Many British households face space constraints when it comes to outdoor storage. Whether you have a small garden, limited driveway space, or simply prefer a more discrete storage solution, finding the right recycling storage can be challenging. Traditional tall storage units may not fit your space or aesthetic requirements.

Bluum's Low & Deep Recycling Store with Green Roof Planter solves this problem perfectly. Designed specifically for space-conscious households, this innovative storage solution maximises capacity whilst minimising height and visual impact. Made in the UK with premium materials and thoughtful design, it's storage that works hard in small spaces whilst giving back to your outdoor environment.

Low Profile, Maximum Function

Space-Efficient Design

The low and deep profile makes this recycling store perfect for:

  • Small gardens where height restrictions apply
  • Under low overhangs or covered areas
  • Discrete placement along fence lines
  • Patios and compact outdoor spaces
  • Areas where you want to maintain sight lines

Despite its compact height, the deep design ensures you don't sacrifice storage capacity. Each box compartment provides ample space for standard recycling boxes whilst the green roof adds valuable growing space above.

Flexible Configuration Options

Our low and deep recycling store adapts to your household's needs with configurations from 1 to 4 boxes:

Single Box: Perfect for small households or as additional overflow storage

Two-Box Model: Ideal for basic recycling separation (as featured in our demonstration video)

Three-Box Option: Comprehensive sorting for committed recycling households

Four-Box: Complete waste separation for large families or shared accommodation

Customisation for Your Space

Base Options

Choose the configuration that suits your location:

  • No base option: Standard design for placement on existing hard standing, patios, or level surfaces
  • Full wooden base: Complete protection and easy cleaning, suitable for many surfaces 

Back Panel Flexibility

Select the design that works best for your placement:

  • Open back panel: Perfect when positioning against existing fences or walls, allowing natural ventilation whilst saving materials
  • Fully clad back panel: Complete weather protection and enhanced appearance for standalone positioning

Green Roof Technology in Compact Spaces

Ready-to-Plant Design

Your low and deep recycling store arrives with a fully lined roof, prepared for immediate planting. The compact roof area is perfect for:

  • Herb gardens for kitchen use
  • Wildflower patches for pollinator support
  • Succulent / sedum displays for low-maintenance colour
  • Seasonal planting displays

Moisture Management System

We include specialised capillary matting that helps retain moisture for your plants, ensuring your compact green roof thrives with minimal maintenance. This system is particularly effective on smaller roof areas where plant roots have less soil volume.

Environmental Benefits in Small Spaces

Even compact green roofs contribute significantly to your local environment:

  • Air purification in urban areas where every green space counts
  • Pollinator support in built-up environments
  • Rainwater management helping reduce local flooding
  • Temperature regulation around your storage area
  • Wildlife habitat in space-constrained gardens

Superior UK Construction

Pressure-Treated Redwood Excellence

Every Bluum low and deep recycling store is crafted from premium pressure-treated redwood, specifically selected for British weather conditions. This treatment ensures exceptional longevity and resistance to rot, insects, and weathering - essential for outdoor storage that performs year after year.

Industry-Leading Thickness

Our 1-inch thick cladding significantly exceeds industry standards. Whilst competitors often use thinner materials to reduce costs, we believe in building products that last decades. This superior construction provides excellent durability and weather resistance even in the more compact design.

Precision British Engineering

Each component is precisely cut and engineered in our UK workshop, ensuring perfect fits and professional results. Our commitment to British manufacturing means shorter supply chains, better quality control, and support for local jobs.

Assembly Made Simple

Customer Success Stories

"What a wonderful purchase. The bin store was very straightforward to put together and really high quality wood. Does the perfect job of covering our bins and helps to brighten up our courtyard. Would definitely recommend!" - Greg C

"The recycling storage unit arrived in really good time. The superb quality of the product was apparent before being assembled. The overall quality of materials and the ease with which they were put together into the complete unit really attests to the care and consideration Dave has for his products and customers. We have since planted up the roof with some sedums and it looks excellent, drawing many compliments from neighbours and passers by - to whom we have been sure to recommended Dave and his products. With our thanks and appreciation." - Thomas O
