Solar bins crush rubbish in Nice to end overflowing waste on streets
Three bins have been placed on the Promenade des Anglais where street rubbish has the added problem of attracting seagulls
4 August 2021
The city of Nice is running a trial into the use of solar-powered compacting bins near its beaches in a bid to stop overflowing rubbish which then attracts seagulls.
Three of the bins have been placed along the famous Promenade des Anglais and will be trialled for at least six months.
The compacting bins have a capacity of five to nine times that of the regular bins and are pedal operated.
