Garbage & Recycling Enclosure Design
Compliant, functional, and well-designed waste enclosures
Overview
Built around the realities of your site.
Multi-family and commercial developments in Edmonton are required to provide garbage and recycling enclosures that meet the City's design standards. We design enclosures that satisfy City requirements for size, accessibility, screening, and gate operation — while fitting naturally into the overall site design and architecture of your project.
Edmonton requires garbage and recycling enclosures for multi-family residential and commercial developments as part of the development permit process. These structures must meet specific dimensional requirements, material standards, and screening guidelines set by the City of Edmonton.
Our enclosure designs are functional and contextually appropriate — designed to meet City guidelines while complementing the architectural character of the primary building. We produce permit-ready drawings that satisfy reviewers without unnecessary back-and-forth or revisions.
We work with developers and property managers on projects ranging from small infill duplexes to larger multi-unit residential sites. Enclosure design is typically bundled into a broader development package, but we also handle standalone submissions for existing sites that require an upgrade.
