Low & Wide Recycling Box Store: Green Storage Solutions for Unique Spaces
Perfect for low, wide, shallow areas - transform awkward garden spaces with Bluum's innovative low and wide design featuring green roof technology
Smart Storage for Low & Wide Spaces
Many British households have unique outdoor spaces that don't suit standard storage solutions. Perhaps you have a wide area alongside your house, a shallow space under a window, or simply prefer storage that spreads horizontally rather than vertically. Finding recycling storage that works with these dimensions whilst maintaining functionality can be challenging.
Bluum's 'Low & Wide' Recycling Bin / Box Store with Green Roof Planter is designed specifically for these situations. With its wide footprint and low profile, this innovative storage solution maximises capacity across rather than upwards, perfect for unique spaces whilst maintaining all the benefits of our green roof technology. Made in the UK with premium materials and thoughtful design, it's storage that adapts to your space rather than forcing you to adapt to it.
Low and Wide Benefits
Perfect Proportions
The low level design excels in:
- Wide, shallow areas alongside buildings
- Spaces under low windows or overhangs
- Areas where you want to maintain garden views
- Locations with height restrictions
- Spaces where a wider footprint works better than height
Despite the low profile, the design provides excellent storage capacity for 1-4 standard recycling bins, boxes or food caddies whilst the extended green roof creates a substantial planting area.
Flexible Configuration Options
Our low and wide 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
This configuration handles the requirements of most council recycling schemes whilst maintaining the low, wide profile that works perfectly in unique garden spaces.
Premium Construction Options
Full Wooden Base
The model featured in our demonstration video includes our optional full wooden base, providing:
- Complete protection from ground moisture
- Easy cleaning and maintenance
- Suitable placement on many surfaces
- Enhanced structural stability across the wide footprint
- Professional, finished appearance
Fully Clad Back Panel

Green Roof Technology Maximised
Extended Planting Area
The wide design creates a substantial green roof area, perfect for:
- Herb gardens with multiple varieties
- Succulents or sedums
- Wildflower meadow strips for maximum pollinator impact

Ready-to-Plant Design
Your recycling box store arrives with a fully lined roof across the entire wide span, prepared for immediate planting. The extended area provides excellent opportunities for creative garden design whilst maintaining the practical storage below.
Moisture Management System
We include specialised capillary matting across the full roof area, ensuring even moisture distribution for your plants. This system is particularly effective across wider roof spans where consistent watering can be challenging.
Environmental Benefits Amplified
The larger green roof area contributes even more significantly to your local environment:
- Greater air purification capacity
- Enhanced pollinator habitat and food sources
- Improved rainwater management across the wider area
- More substantial temperature regulation benefits
- Increased wildlife habitat opportunities
Superior UK Construction
Pressure-Treated Redwood Excellence
Every Bluum low & wide 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. The extra thickness is particularly important in the wide design, providing excellent structural integrity across the extended span whilst being "thicker and chunkier than competitors' products."
Precision British Engineering
Each component is precisely cut and engineered in our UK workshop, ensuring perfect fits and professional results. The wide design requires particular attention to structural engineering, which our experienced craftsmen deliver consistently.
Assembly Made Simple
Streamlined Setup Process
- Manageable panels: Thoughtfully designed components for the wide configuration
- Less than 20 minute assembly: Despite the wider footprint
- Less than 10 steps: Clear, logical progression from components to finished product
- Complete hardware included: All screws and screwdriver bit provided
- Full instructions: Professional, easy-to-follow guidance
No Special Skills Required
Despite the wider design, our construction philosophy prioritises simplicity. Using common tools and following our step-by-step guide, anyone can achieve professional results with this extended storage solution.
Perfect for Unique Garden Situations
Wide Space Solutions
Maximise awkward or uniquely proportioned outdoor areas:
- Long, narrow strips alongside buildings
- Wide areas under bay windows or conservatories
- Spaces where traditional tall storage won't fit
- Areas where you want storage to complement rather than dominate
- Locations requiring a more horizontal approach to organisation
Council Recycling Compliance
The 1-4 box configuration ensures you can stay organised and compliant with local council requirements whilst working within your space constraints. Separate compartments make sorting straightforward, and the covered storage protects contents from weather.
Aesthetic Integration
The low, wide profile integrates beautifully with garden design:
- Doesn't interrupt sight lines across the garden
- Creates horizontal emphasis complementing building lines
- Provides substantial green roof area for landscaping impact and biodiversity

Dave is professional, communicates well and is very pleasant so I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him." - Kerris H
