[GreenYes] Big Belly trash compactors

["Brenda Platt" <bplatt@no.address>]

Hi all,

Is anyone familiar with Seahorse Power's "Big Belly" solar-powered
trash compactors?  

 
http://www.seahorsepower.com/

They are being sold as a
green alternative to solid waste disposal that saves space by compacting, eliminates odor and pests, and reduces collection costs.  Boston has bought a bunch of them and now Lowell is considering doing the same.

I am particularly interested if anyone knows if they've been introduced with recycling or composting.

Thanks in advance.

Brenda
