See how the BigBelly solar-powered compactor works, how it will save the City of Philadelphia $13 million over the next ten years, and hear what Philadelphia Streets Commissioner Clarena Tolson has to say about introducing pedestrian and curbside recycling in Philly for the first time.
Here are some comments about the BigBelly solar compactors:
"The BigBelly cans are great, and I’ve definitely noticed less trash on the ground on blocks that have them. Now we just need more of them."
"I thought it was a good idea until they said it was solar... that makes it perfect."
"This is more than a good idea... it's GREAT! I agree. We need to get these set up everywhere! "
