New recycling stations coming to downtown to shrink carbon footprint

2015-02-11 03:50:31| Waste Management - Topix.net

The 'Big belly recycling stations' use a solar-powered compactor to allow the station to hold up to five times more trash than a typical can of the same size. "The sun powers the mechanism, that uses a sensor, that lets it know how full the trash can is," T.O. Bowman, with the City of Oklahoma City, said.
