Neighbours have voted in favour of communal bins being introduced to their exclusive Regency square.
The large black bins were brought in to 24 streets in central Brighton and Hove earlier this year to keep plastic bags off the streets.
The communal bins enable residents in flats and bedsits to throw their rubbish away daily instead of having it hanging around in bags. The bins are then emptied once a day.
The containers proved unpopular with some residents who said they took up parking spaces and were unsightly. A Say No to Bins Campaign was launched.
Six months into the trial, the bins have proved a hit with residents, with 45 more streets requesting them.
The Powis Square Residents Association carried out a survey asking people if they wanted the communal bins. Of the 59 residents who voted, 46 wanted to try them.
The results have been forwarded to Brighton and Hove City Council's in-house refuge service Cityclean.
Environment councillor Gill Mitchell said the bins were proving a success but no more would be introduced into the city until the end of the year long trial.
