Do Solar-Powered Trash Compactors Work?
Traditionally, compacting waste collection has always been problematic for waste management service providers owing to the uneconomic, inefficient, and environmentally damaging equipment available for the collection and compaction of waste. However, like most other commercial and industrial processes, waste management has benefited from technological advancements that continually seek to improve the process. The most significant development comes in the form of the solar powered garbage compactor, which has shown tremendous potential to improve waste processes in Saudi Arabia as well as the rest of the world.
Do Solar-Powered Trash Compactors Work?
Despite the obvious technological superiority of the solar-powered trash compactor bin over existing models, sceptics are questioning its efficacy and ability to streamline waste management processes. The most common question is: Do solar-powered trash compactors work? The short and unambiguous answer is: Yes, they do!
In this blog we will lay out some of the features and benefits of solar-powered bins that will allay the fears of sceptics, put their doubts to rest and convert them to ardent admirers.
Benefits of solar-powered trash compactors
Solar-powered trash compactors can collect up to 90% more trash than traditional waste collection bins by compressing waste into smaller areas, thereby allowing a large amount of waste to be collected in one bin. This is a truly astounding capability that translates to significant cost savings when you take the following factors into account:
(i) Reduces the number of trash bins required to service a particular area.
(ii) Reduces the frequency of trash collection.
(iii) Reduces the number of personnel required to manage the waste.
(iv) Reduces the number of vehicles required to transport the waste, which also translates to savings in fuel consumption.
(v) Increases public footfall and frees up vital space that can be used for other gainful ventures
Well, if that doesn’t convince die-hard sceptics, consider this: Solar-powered bins run on solar—a clean, renewable source of energy that reduces the carbon footprint of trash management along the entire operational chain from installation and compaction to collection, transportation and disposal. Following are some of the economic and environmental benefits:
(i) Reduces reliance on grid electricity, therefore eliminating the need for expensive wiring and electricity outlets.
(ii) Helps in lowering air pollution levels by reducing the number of waste transport vehicles running fossil fuels.
(iii) Facilitates waste segregation, waste recycling and reduces the size of landfills
(iv) Helps reduce unpleasant smells from uncovered, overflowing traditional waste bins
(v) Helps in reducing the spread of diseases from scavenging insects that are a permanent fixture of traditional bins.
So let’s get this clear: what’s good for the environment is good for all of us.
Our Solar Trash Compactor
SAB TECH’s solar powered garbage compactor is a truly complete and innovative modern solution for urban waste compaction and collection. Our technologically advanced trash compactor bins are fitted with highly efficient 40W photovoltaic panels that capture solar energy, even in cloudy conditions. The solar energy is converted to electrical energy, powering a 12V DC system that operates the electric actuator, which executes the waste compaction process. Excess power is stored in a battery to be used as backup, making our trash compactor a completely self-contained unit with no reliance on electricity from a grid. Our solar-powered bins for trash compaction demonstrate high levels of efficiency with 8X compacting capability compared to most electric compactors.
Our trash compactors feature a compact and durable body made of high-grade Zintec steel, with a galvanized base and feed chute. Their dimensions of 1518 mm (H) x 698 mm (L) x 761 mm (W) are ideal for deployment in both indoor and outdoor settings. They are perfectly suited for installation in areas with high footfall such as malls and airports. They are also well-suited for commercial establishments such as hotels, restaurants, and hospitals. They can also be installed in private apartment complexes and offices as well as open public spaces such as parks, beaches, and outdoor shopping arcades.
Their compactness and portability make them ideal waste management equipment at high footfall public events such as concerts, political rallies and festivals. Their aesthetic design and contactless user experience encourages more people to make use of them, thereby contributing to cleaner and safer surroundings.
Learn More About Our Solar Trash Compactor
A few special features of our solar-powered trash compactors are:
(i) They are fitted with an on-board sensor that detects the level of trash collected in the bin, and automatically activates the compactor when a certain level is reached. An LED light indicator also signals when full capacity is reached.
(ii) They are equipped with a sophisticated wi-fi enabled, integrated real-time reporting system that notifies waste management service providers when it is time to collect the trash. This allows the waste management personnel to schedule pickups more efficiently.
(iii) They are stand alone, sealed units that prevent leakage of fluids or tampering by unauthorized people. At a bin opening height of 1183 mm, these solar-powered trash compactors can be conveniently opened by waste management service providers for collection of waste.
(iv) They have a large feed opening of 169 mm (H) x 330 mm (W), which allows users to deposit waste comfortably. They are also equipped with a foot pedal that operates the inflow flap, which helps minimize contact.
(v) They work silently and efficiently, contributing to quieter and more serene surroundings.
Conclusion
Given the plethora of benefits that they bring to modern waste management processes, the question ‘Do Solar Compactors Work?’ is somewhat flawed and redundant. Rather, the question that should be ‘How Well Do Solar Compactors Work?’. We have answered this question rather emphatically, especially regarding the many advanced features of our solar-powered trash compactors and the versatility of their use across multiple settings. Today, the solar-powered waste compactor for waste collection stands head and shoulders above its rivals and will continue to penetrate the waste management market in leaps and bounds, improving efficiency and streamlining waste processes.
