Solar-powered compacting trash can

With a crushing force of 1,250 lbs. and capacities ranging from 160 to 240 un-compacted gallons, the Big Belly reduces collection requirements by holding five times as much as ordinary receptacles. Heavy-gauge galvanized steel, polycarbonate shield and ABS plastic sides, as well as bolts that hold it to the ground, make units difficult to steal or vandalize. Operated by a rechargeable 12 V battery, the fully automated machine senses trash level, fullness, and machine status. Maintenance includes annual chain lubrication and battery replacement every four to five years. Booth 1443.
