Big Belly

Hi Oz
This was an interesting find on ZDnet: Big belly is a solar-powered trash compactor, recently installed in Chicago Park District, to keep the beaches clean and safe. It kinda looks like a normal trash bin, but this one holds 4-6 times as much.
“According to the Chicago Park District, the BigBelly compactors, built by the Seahorse Power Company, look like mailboxes and are very easy to use. “They have a pull-down handle on a small door at the top, ‘like a mailbox,’ “
