Like so many others, the City of Brotherly Love was looking to become more environmentally friendly while also trying to cut costs. Philadelphia discovered a bright idea that could help them do both.
By deploying 500 solar powered trash compactors around town, city leaders expect to reduce weekly collections from 17 to under 7 - which will help the city dramatically lower their labor and fuel costs along with CO2 from fuel emissions. Over the course of ten years, this environmental solution is projected to save millions of dollars. That's a surprising amount of independence.
