Produced by a company called Big Belly, these high capacity trash and recycling bins are self compacting to hold more rubbish. They are connected to the internet, alerting the garbage man when it’s time to swing by, and they are solar powered, allowing lots of flexibility in placement. Whatever you think of their looks, these puppies can be given decorative wraps to make them blend in a bit.
