Transform recycling storage from cluttered necessity to attractive garden feature with Bluum's innovative green roof technology


The Challenge of Modern Recycling Storage

Every British household faces the same dilemma: how to store multiple recycling boxes and bags without creating an unsightly mess in your garden or driveway. Traditional storage solutions hide the problem without solving it, but what if your recycling storage could actively enhance your outdoor space instead?

Bluum's Recycling Box Store with Green Roof Planter transforms essential storage into a living garden feature. Made in the UK with premium materials and thoughtful design, it's storage that gives back to your outdoor environment whilst keeping your recycling perfectly organised.

Scalable Solutions for Every Household

Flexible Configuration Options

Our recycling box store isn't one-size-fits-all. We understand that households have different recycling needs, which is why we offer configurations from 2 to 10 boxes. Whether you're a small household with basic recycling needs or a large family or block of flats committed to comprehensive waste separation, there's a perfect size for you.

Four-Box Standard

The four-box model (featured in our demonstration video) represents the sweet spot for most British households. It provides ample space for:

  • General recycling (paper, cardboard, plastics)
  • Glass and metals separation
  • Garden waste storage
  • Food waste

This configuration handles the requirements of most council recycling schemes whilst maintaining a compact footprint in your garden.

Premium Construction Options

Full Wooden Base

Choose between no base or our optional full wooden base. The wooden base provides:

  • Complete protection from ground moisture
  • Easy cleaning and maintenance
  • Suitable placement on any level hard standing
  • Enhanced structural stability
  • Professional, finished appearance

Back Panel Customisation

Select the configuration that suits your location:

  • Open back panel: Standard design for easy access and natural ventilation, suitable if going up against a fence or wall, for example
  • Fully clad back panel: Enhanced weather protection and appearance

Green Roof Technology That Works

Ready-to-Plant Design

Your recycling box store arrives with a fully lined roof, prepared for immediate planting. No complicated preparation required - simply add compost and your chosen plants to create an instant garden feature that transforms functional storage into living beauty.

Moisture Management System

We include specialised capillary matting that helps retain moisture for your plants, ensuring your green roof thrives with minimal maintenance. This thoughtful addition means less frequent watering and healthier plants throughout the seasons.

Environmental Benefits

Each green roof recycling store actively contributes to your local environment by:

  • Filtering air pollutants naturally
  • Supporting local wildlife and pollinators
  • Managing rainwater runoff effectively
  • Adding valuable green space to urban areas
  • Improving garden biodiversity
  • Creating habitat corridors for wildlife

Superior UK Construction

Pressure-Treated Redwood Excellence

Every Bluum recycling box 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 "thick and chunky" construction provides superior durability and weather resistance.

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

Streamlined Setup Process

  • Manageable panels: Thoughtfully designed components
  • 20-minute assembly: Quicker than most flat-pack furniture
  • Less than 10 steps: Clear, logical progression from box to finished product
  • Complete hardware included: All screws and screwdriver bit provided
  • Full-colour instructions: Professional, easy-to-follow guidance with clear diagrams

No Special Skills Required

Our design philosophy prioritises simplicity without compromising quality. Using common tools and following our step-by-step guide, anyone can achieve professional results. No previous DIY experience necessary.

Perfect for Modern British Living

Council Recycling Compliance

Designed with British recycling schemes in mind, our storage solutions help you stay organised and compliant with local council requirements. Separate compartments make sorting straightforward, whilst the covered storage protects contents from weather.

Space Optimisation

Transform underutilised garden areas into productive, attractive storage spaces. The growing opportunity of the green roof maximises your garden's potential whilst maintaining essential recycling functionality.

Neighbourhood Consideration

Replace unsightly recycling storage areas with attractive garden features. Your neighbours will appreciate the aesthetic improvement, whilst you enjoy the practical benefits of organised, accessible storage.

British weather demands robust outdoor storage. Our pressure-treated construction and optional full weather protection ensure your recycling stays dry and accessible regardless of conditions.
