Smart Litter Bins at Seaton

Depends where they had the trial and for how long. A bin in the council depot tried out for effect could be classified as such , so it have been tested or demonstrated ?

If you Google these bins you very quickly find the end-user complaints about how dirty and smelly they become when not emptied promptly. They are very common in the USA and without a regular clean and maintain they go to pot. I suspect the Council see them as a way to cut down on emptying them as often and nothing else. I very much doubt they will looked after.

It's beginning to look like the smart litter bins are about as smart as the people who purchased them.

As far as I can remember 2 were tried out at the front of the Rocket Car Park for about 6 weeks in April/May
