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.

ReplyDeleteIsn't technology a great thing.

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.
