| Solar powered trash masher? |
 Yep, that's right. Big Belly solar-powered trash compaction systems monitor internal trash levels and compact trash to reduce and control collection cycles. Quite frankly, I think that is bloody brilliant!
This trash can system is 100% self-powered on solar energy. "The unit takes up as much space as the "footprint" of an ordinary receptacle—but its capacity is five times greater." FIVE TIMES! I am just amazed at this because I all but jump on top of our trash can to try and fit more in and it only condenses maybe an inch worth.
If you think about this in a grand scheme, you are able to compact trash and therefore worry about only one container of waste during the week until the garbage truck comes. Your overflowing trash will no longer need to be chased down the neighborhood streets after it blows out of the bin. AND the garbage man will have less of a load since everything is compacted which means they will be driving around less. See where I'm going here?
Super cool.
