Problem Summary
The Nambucca Shire Council was looking for ways to improve their public waste collection and amenities cleaning services. They found that these services had not been reviewed for decades and with a budget of over $450k a year going to this area, surely there was room for improvement.

The Council turned to Solar Bins Australia for help with this project, where they replaced tradition public bins with BigBelly Solar Bins. These new bins have an internal compactor allowing them to hold 5 times more waste and it is powered by 100% renewable solar power.
