Two great ideas, and I'm especially happy about the trash compactor idea. I think people are actually trying to put trash where it belongs, but I have made note of the garbage receptacles outside of business recently, and they are almost always overflowing with garbage placed on top of cans, which inevitably winds up flying down the street. I think a pilot is worth doing, and businesses need to be made more accountable for emptying their garbage cans more regularly so people can use them. Another side to the coin.<br /><br />I am wondering how a solar trash compactor works here in the winter? Interesting....

The bin has a system that lifts the whole extra large bag up via a bottom platform. (that's a bad description) <br /><br />Basically you need 1 guy and a truck with a winch arm at the back to hoist it up.Bill Givenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15570674548431178061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381267521655075436.post-39948764540226634922010-01-04T15:45:23.298-08:002010-01-04T15:45:23.298-08:00That trash can looks like a pain in the butt to em...That trash can looks like a pain in the butt to empty. Do you hold one guy by the ankles to reach the bottom?
