Garbage stations are provided in five types, from Type A to E, with the scale determined by the number of households in each area. While the cross section is standardized, the frontage is available in five different lengths. A diagonal beam is connected to a single reinforced concrete wall to transfer the horizontal force of the front colonnade. The wooden components are limited to the columns and expanded metal at the openings, satisfying regulations at the site as well as indoor ventilation. This proposal presents a comprehensive planning approach that responds to diverse site conditions in rural towns and addresses area-specific issues of existing garbage stations.
