public trash can that's solar powered, allowing it to compact people's
garbage and store four to six times as much as a regular can. In addition,
it keeps less trash from spilling out, meaning less food for birds,
meaning less bird poops on your car. Seems like a win-win to us. And
while your.. town government might not like the $4,000 pricetag,
I'm sure they'd like the savings in manpower, seeing this thing doesn't
need to be emptied as often, and the image enhancement of having
something solar powered on your city streets. Everyone knows that anything
solar powered is environmentally friendly, even if regular trash cans
don't use any power at all.

Just getting recycling cans next to garbage cans would help. One of the school classes was going to work on this for the park last year but I haven't heard anything since. Maybe the city should consider purchasing double refuse cans for the downtown - one for trash, the other for recyclables? Any companies out there make them?
