A guy I know (who lives in a place that you can have rain barrels. duhhh) bought some Rubbermaid Brute garbage cans and used a couple of these kits to daisy chain the barrels together at the bottom.

I have to wait for a picture of his system to post, but in order for it to look like some unobtrusive garbage cans he has on the side of his house, he got a green one for "yard waste", a blue one with a triangle arrow symbol for "recyclables", and a regular grey one for "trash". So that his yard doesn't look bad or anything.
