MSNBC - Big Apple tests 'BigBelly' trash can:
"NEW YORK - The city is testing a $4,500 trash can that is able to sense when it's full and automatically compact the garbage inside using solar power.
The can — called the BigBelly — was tried in Chinatown starting on Feb. 14 and then moved to Tribeca on Feb. 28, says Department of Sanitation spokeswoman Taryn Duckett."
