New York Daily News, July 2005

"Each BigBelly^TM holds the same amount as six to eight standard trash cans and is fully enclosed to keep litter contained. It carries a number of safety precautions. The compactor can not operate if either the trash removal door or access panel is open, and a flap keeps hands from reaching into the compaction area. 'I am confident that we are going to have a cleaner and better Flushing than ever before,' said Flushing Assemblyman Jimmy Meng at the unveiling."

Amagansett Beach to Test Solar-Powered Garbage Can New York Times, May 2005

"Debra Foster, an East Hampton Town Board member who pushed the pilot program, said the machine would reduce the number of trips town employees make to collect trash, saving labor and gasoline. She said she thought the machine would pay for itself in a year. 'It's environmentally sound and economically sound,' she said."

"Poss envisions the devices being used in heavily trafficked urban areas and by private companies as an alternative to trash cans. For cities, he believes the environmental benefits of reducing the frequency of garbage truck pickups make BigBelly^TM worth considering. Nearly all (91 percent of) trash trucks in the United States get about 3 miles per gallon running on diesel fuel that produces highly toxic exhaust, according to Inform, a national nonprofit environmental research group."

"The can, called the BigBelly^TM, was tried in Chinatown starting on Feb. 14 and then moved to Tribeca on Feb. 28, says Department of Sanitation spokeswoman Taryn Duckett. 'We're testing it out to see how effective it is environmentally,' she said."
