Standing at 50 inches tall and weighing 300 pounds, the BigBelly solar trash compactor cuts public garbage collection emissions by up to 80 percent and operates for an entire day on the equivalent energy it takes to make a piece of toast. The compactor is the only on-site solar-powered trash compactor currently available. Holding up to five times the volume of ordinary trash receptacles, this solar-powered compactor has a 150 gallon capacity and exerts 1,200 pounds of force. All of this is run purely from solar energy and using less than 5 watt hours per day. BigBelly has been deployed in over 35 cities and towns across the U.S. and 15 other countries. [BigBelly]
