I remember when these went in in Philly a couple years ago... often on well-shaded corners, not such a great match for solar powered compaction I'd think. No doubt the new bins reduce the amount of waste collected, a) because nobody wants to touch the grotty handles, and b) it isn't possible to fit anything much bigger than a loaf of bread. However, could they possibly reduce the amount of waste generated? Where is the rest of it going? Center City also has a crew of workers to operate noisy, walk-behind, teal street sweepers. I'm not sure if these actually pick up garbage, but at any rate it would be a delight to see them pull a tour of duty on Snyder Ave. instead of Market.
