Just noticed this one said solar compactor and I want to know more about that...
Let me see what I can find

Here’s what blogger Marc212 had to say:
New York, NY - I saw something new this morning walking through
Union Square that I hadn’t seen before — a solar powered trash
compactor!
Apparently, they’ve been around for nearly a year but I just noticed yesterday. The site UnionSquareNYC.org says:
“BigBelly’s Greening Union Square – USP is the first business
improvement district in NYC to pilot the use of BigBelly solar-powered
trash compactors. Three units were placed at some of the district’s
busiest corners at 14th St & B’way, 14th St & University Place,
and 17th St & B’way to gauge their effectiveness. The compactors
have already made a huge impact by reducing garbage collection frequency
by nearly 70% at these corners.”
