Looks like the trash cans a McDonald's, except they cost $5500 apiece.

I’ve seen a couple of these around Atlanta and the first thought that came to me was that whoever is making them must be politically connected to the socialist regime.

A solar-powered trash can subsidized with millions of dollars of taxpayer-funded stimulus bucks is actually a pretty good metaphor for the Obama regime.

At first I was skeptical, but after reading the BigBelly website, this is a pretty cool use of combined solar, trash compacting, IT, and Cloud technologies. I wonder how much they'll have to pay the mob to let these be installed and how much of the savings will evaporate after the payoffs. Also, with the outrageous level of thefts of bronze civic plaques and copper pipe all over the nation, how soon before these things are the target of brazen thieves?

The first time someone puts a dead dog or cat in one of these the smell is going to drive all potential users away.

No users = stays half full and never gets emptied.

We’re way ahead of the Chinese in $5,500 solar-powered trash cans. Obama’s dream is coming true.

150 gallons of compacted trash. Who did they hire to empty those things, Les Brockner?

[I Drive Too Fast]

What a waste - both literally and figuratively.

Only some halfwit in the government could think up something this stupid. Just think how dangerous they would be if they had the other half!
