Yes—there are, though they’re usually a niche product rather than one single global category. In tight alleys, cities and manufacturers tend to adapt standard bins or create compact versions. You’ll see slim upright bins that are only about 30–45 cm wide, wall-mounted litter bins with shallow bodies, pillar-style bins that use vertical space, and small semi-underground containers with only a low intake above ground. Some smart compactors are also used where collection access is limited, but they cost more and need power and maintenance.
The trade-off is capacity: narrower bins hold less, so they need more frequent emptying. Good alley bins also have rounded or recessed edges, fire-resistant materials, lockable openings, and brackets that keep them out of walking space. In historic or very narrow streets, custom mounting and local design rules often matter more than the bin model itself. So the answer is yes—but often it’s a slimmed-down or locally adapted urban bin rather than a mass-market “narrow alley” bin.
