"The EnviroBin 3000 is the latest in garbage technology, extremely efficient and powered by builtin solar panels the Envirobin can operate for 2 full weeks without sunlight. The core of this device is it's compactor unit which can exert enough pressure to reduce standard household and general litter waste into 8th of it's usual size, hence reducing the need for costly garbage rounds and the need for extra bins in high waste through-put areas.

5 hours of direct sunlight provide enough power for just over 1000 compaction cycles, the EnviroBin 3000 is the must have device for all homes, local councils and those responsible for waste management. Despite the initial outlay we expect most standard high-waste throughput users to make up the initial outlay in around 2 years time. The cost will 90 thousand dollars per unit."

"The EnviroBin 3000 is a complete and self-sufficient system designed to remotely communicate with a central office to indicate when it needs emptying, controlled by Intergrated Circuirty components the EnviroBin is aware of how full it as as well as of it's own status, the only maintenaince that would be required is greasing of the chains which is recommended routinely and the replacing of the enclosed battery system every 4 years."
