Description

The solar street bin has been designed and developed to save councils, local authorities, property management companies, college campuses and others on the total cost of their litter collection services.

The machine features a built-in compaction system which compresses or compacts litter as it is deposited in the bin, increasing the litter-holding capacity of the bin by a factor of x10. This means less collections are required, resulting in an overall reduction in bin servicing costs.

A cloud-based wireless monitoring system works together with a bin fill sensor to allow real-time monitoring of bin-fill levels and the operational status of the bin. The system compiles data from individual bins and generates focused collection routes for only those bins which requiring servicing – saving on time, cutting costs and reducing emissions.
