waste storage areas
In the UK at least
Calculating the Size of a Waste Storage Area
4.1. Introduction
The waste storage area should be large enough to allow each waste container to be individually accessed and removed without moving any of the others. This is to ensure that: Residents/users can conveniently use any waste container at any time, without having to swap them around. Where this is not the case, users may be tempted to simply dump the waste into or around the storage area once the accessible containers are filled, rather than rearrange them.

waste storage facilities / chambers
This first came to mind immediately, culled from a description I have stored of a end-of-use vehicle treatment centre. But I also found chambers in this document, which look quite interesting.

refuse collection rooms
I don't know which English variant you want, but I found this for the US at least:
2006 New York Code - Refuse Collection Rooms.

Refuse chute - A means of transporting waste materials by chute, from the point of disposal in high-rise residential (or office building) to a refuse collection room at the base of the chute.

There are probably various other terms for it, here's another one.
Each floor has its own laundry room, refuse disposal room, recycling and a community balcony.
