Keep rodents and foragers out, while adding curb appeal.
It’s difficult to keep trash, recycling, and composting tidy. And there aren’t a lot of durable, attractive solutions available. Most enclosures on the market are no better looking than the trash cans they contain.
CITIBIN is the modern, attractive alternative to plastic, iron, and wooden enclosures that degrade quickly outside. Made of powder-coated aluminum, recycled bamboo, and stainless steel hardware, CITIBIN enclosures are built to last and come with a 2-year warranty.
They are modular, lockable, and available in 3 neutral, modern colors. The STANDARD size is for 32-44 gallon trash and recycling cans. The XL size is for 65-96 gallon cans.

Why are ours different? They are more than just functional. They're stylish.
We've been keeping rats out of NYC trash for 10 years. Bears hate CITIBIN, too.
Made of a sturdy, powder-coated steel shell, CITIBIN enclosures are built for long-term outdoor use.
Whether you need 2 modules for a single family home, or 8 modules for a condo in Aspen, CITIBIN configures to your needs.
CITIBIN's bear-resistant handle confuses bears. The piano hinges make the doors impregnable. Bears know trash and recycling is inside, but they can't get to it. So they give up and look for an alternative all-you-can-eat buffet.
CITIBIN enclosures are modular, which means you can add as many modules you need for trash, recycling or storage. A single-family home may need one module for trash and one module for recycling. A homeowner association (HOA) may need 100 modules for its community. Ask us about group purchasing discounts!
Our trash and recycling signs help train people where to put what. The icons are bold and the type is sharp. Made of powder-coated aluminum that won't rust, our signs match exactly with our bins.
We've built CITIBIN in three standard sizes:
Small for cans up to 44 gallons,
Medium for cans up to 55 gallons,
Large for cans up to 96 gallons.

Absolutely. Our enclosures are built to last, manufactured with high quality materials. Both the panel and the doors of the enclosure feature marine-grade aluminum with stainless steel hardware. You can avoid the warping issues that might be present with wood enclosures, and the stainless steel won’t rust. In addition, bamboo composite is used in all of the siding/panels, which is another material that can stand up to difficult weather conditions. We are so confident in CITIBIN that we offer a 5-year warranty.
One of the many great features of CITIBIN is its modular design. You can select from a variety of sizes and configurations in order to come away with recycling bin storage that best fits your needs.
Included in our prefab models are two basic sizes: Standard and XL. A single standard module can house a 44-gallon bin, while an XL accommodates a 65-96 gallon wheeled containers. You can choose to configure your CITIBIN with as many modules as necessary to hold all of the containers you use.
Also, we are happy to create custom sizes to suit your specific needs. If the standard CITIBIN measurements are not quite right for your situation, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
We have worked hard to offer our customers a high-quality product for a fair price. With that in mind, you can order a 1-module recycling bin enclosure for as little as $1,500. Unlike other solutions, this is a product that is built to last. You won’t have to order another unit a year from now, and we offer a 5-year warranty to guarantee it. If shipped within the USA, there is no charge for shipping and handling. International orders are subject to shipping charges, and orders within New York City can be delivered and installed starting at $300.
Not at all! We designed CITIBIN as a ready-to-assemble solution. It’s easy to put together with minimal tools. You’ll simply need the instruction manual that we provide, a Phillips screwdriver, and an allen key.
Very little is needed in terms of maintenance on your CITIBIN, which is yet another great feature. Unlike a wood recycling enclosure that may need to be cleaned regularly, weather treated and re-stained from time to time, only basic cleaning is necessary with CITIBIN. The bamboo composite siding is not going to have the same issues as a wood enclosure.
We include two different doors with your CITIBIN to make it as functional as possible. First, the top doors open up, so you can easily toss in your recycling. Then, when it is time to take your container out of the CITIBIN, the front doors can be opened for easy access.
We recommend sticking with the prefab options unless the sizes available will not be a good fit for your needs. The good news is that there are many module and sizing options to pick from. If you need a custom size, please feel free to contact us, but keep in mind that the lead time can be extended from 12-14 weeks for a prefab unit to 14-16 weeks for a custom unit.
At this time, we only offer installation services if you are located in New York City. For those in NYC, we are happy to provide delivery, installation, and even haul away of an existing recycling enclosure. Thanks to this service, you can have your new CITIBIN in place and doing its job in very short order. For those outside of NYC, installation services are not available. However, thanks to the modular design and helpful instructions, you’ll find it is very easy to assemble your own outdoor recycling box storage bin.
