This new smart bin can be found in Killybegs.
PEL has developed a solar-powered street bin that compacts waste, and allows the bins to hold 10 times their usual load. The waste is captured in a 120-litre wheelie bin housed inside the street unit.
The bins are fitted with cloud-based software that provides real-time information on the bin and alerts a local authority when it is full and needs to be emptied. This would reduce the number of times a council would need to empty the bins.

That is smart indeed. Haven't seen them here yet.
ReplyDeleteNow I know how the Irish keep their streets so clean.
ReplyDeleteIsn't technology a great thing.
ReplyDeleteInteresting clever way to keep the streets clean.
ReplyDeleteClever.
ReplyDeleteInteresting!
ReplyDeletePromising innovation. ... and the rain is doing the rest. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThumbs up!!! Very big! (or rather foot down! ;-)...) Clever.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is very clever. Take care, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteSounds like an innovation every city needs.
ReplyDelete...we have dumb ones here.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! We need a few of those bins here.
ReplyDeletegreat news...
ReplyDeletewe need this kind of bin .
That IS smart. They are attractive, too.
ReplyDeleteThat is smart!!
ReplyDeleteWhatever next? Calculating the garbage.
ReplyDeleteI applaud the innovation! Scientists are truly exceptional people! Have a good day, dear Bill.
ReplyDeleteThat is fascinating. Nothing like that here.
ReplyDeleteA number of U.S. cities are using smart trash bins such as L.A. They make sense to help keep streets cleaner and free of litter.
ReplyDeleteVery clever
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, Bill.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have them in Türkiye as far as I know...
ReplyDeleteBoa tarde meu querido amigo Bill. Acho que não temos por aqui esse tecnologia. Parabéns pela foto.
ReplyDeleteWow isn't that a good idea!!
ReplyDeleteThis is installed in Melbourne CBD too. Solar powered bin too.
ReplyDeleteWe have similar bear proof trash bins like that here so that bears can't get to the trash and scatter it on the ground.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting. Cool post!
ReplyDeleteBuen basurero. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteWow!
ReplyDeleteWow, that’s impressive.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing. Wonders of technology!
ReplyDeleteLet's hope it works. The litter and bins over here is so so bad! :-(
ReplyDeleteLooks like a sturdy bin, hopefully people use it.
ReplyDeleteIncrível!!! Acho que por aqui ainda estamos a anos luz de ter algo assim!
ReplyDeleteAdorei ver... e adorei o conceito que inspirou esta novidade tecnológica!
Um grande abraço
