The solar-powered bins have sensor technology fitted and when close to being full, a compactor is triggered to crush down the litter
Liverpool City Council is set to trial a new generation of 'super-smart solar bins'. allowing the bin to take up to 100 per cent more litter than standard litter bins before it needs emptying. The 'super-smart solar' bins also send a signal to the waste depot when it is almost full, which improves the council’s collection efficiency, reducing both the time spent emptying bins and vehicle related carbon emissions.
The Council will also seek to increase fixed penalty notices to the maximum level permitted under new legislation - for litter, fly tipping and other environmental offences i.e. graffiti and dog fouling. As well as developing an anti-litter programme with Keep Britain Tidy and community groups, the council has also invested in CCTV to identify and prosecute fly-tippers.
