How it Works
Solar-Powered Trash Compactors - The solar panel on top of each trash bin collects and stores energy from the sun. When the trash inside reaches a certain level, it is automatically compacted. The bin holds five times the amount of compacted trash and soiled paper than a regular bin holds!
