Casella donated 10 "smart" trash bins to Rutland City, which were installed in the downtown area earlier this month. These high-tech bins feature sensors that monitor their capacity, enabling better collection time planning and preventing overflowing bins. Additionally, they feature a solar-powered compacting mechanism that enables them to hold more waste than standard trash bins, thereby enhancing waste management efficiency. These smart bins will help keep the downtown area cleaner and improve everyone's experience when visiting downtown Rutland, VT.
“I was so impressed when they came out,” Downtown Rutland Partnership Executive Director Hal Issente said. “That is unbelievable technology."
Removed trash and recycling cans that have the capacity to be repurposed upon replacement, will serve as flag drop boxes at transfer stations across the Casella footprint.
