Refuse storage and collection is a critical consideration that impacts the day-to-day functioning of larger developments.
A balance needs to be struck between concealing rubbish bins and locating them conveniently enough that people will use them.
Apartment buildings are especially vulnerable to anonymous dumping - if bins are troublesome or circuitous to access, rubbish will be disposed of in lifts, common area receptacles, lobbies or car parks. Ensure provision of a robust waste management programme to avoid these negative outcomes.
