About this product
CitySolar Smart Bin
CitySolar Smart Bin transforms on-street waste management with solar-powered compaction and market‑capacity using standard 120L, 240L or 360L wheelie bins, cutting collections and costs while preventing overflows. The result is a cleaner, safer, lower‑carbon streetscape with measurable OPEX savings for councils, contractors and estates teams.
CitySolar Smart Bin is a high‑performance, solar‑powered compacting litter bin engineered to take standard 120L, 240L and 360L wheelie bins with no modification, unlocking the proven advantages of mechanical emptying, familiar logistics and rapid deployment across public realm and campus environments. 1,200 litres of uncompressed waste and the 360L configuration to achieve up to 2,000 litres of effective capacity; this dramatically reduces collection frequency and eliminates visible overflows in high‑footfall locations. For asset managers, the business case is compelling: fewer lifts, lower fuel and labour costs, reduced CO₂ from collection miles, and cleaner public spaces that enhance place experience and compliance with ESG targets.
FAQ
Questions about the CitySolar Smart Bin
Will solar power be reliable in the UK and can we use mains power indoors?
CitySolar has been designed and tested for low‑light Nordic conditions and operates 100% on solar outdoors; for enclosed or indoor locations an AC plug‑in option is available, giving the same compacting performance without solar.
What makes CitySolar durable in busy, high‑risk public spaces?
The enclosure uses stainless and galvannealed steel with C5 corrosion protection, lockable access, and fast, field‑replaceable panels to cut vandalism downtime; compaction safety interlocks prevent operation during loading.
How does CitySolar reduce operating costs and carbon emissions versus standard bins?
By multiplying bin capacity and enabling just‑in‑time collections, CitySolar cuts lifts dramatically, reduces truck miles and fuel use, and lowers labour costs while improving on‑street cleanliness; operators report step‑change reductions in collection frequency and overflow events.
