Trash can 'repositories' in Luxembourg/Central Europe
Via a Luxembourg regular visitor on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Luxembourg/comments/50cxwq/can_a_luxembourg_resident_answer_this/d73vb3y


  These receptacles are build right next to the entrance-way, need little space and as they are built into the ground you can easily hide the ugly trashbin with hedges and bushes around them.


This simply seems to be an aesthetic feature to make the bin less obvious. No purpose for automated pickup or weather or anything else.
