BU adds 20 BigBelly Solar garbage cans

BUToday notes the arrival of BigBelly Solar’s fancy garbage can today, with an animated feature explaining how they work. The school is adding 20 of the solar-powered trash compactors to the three already on its campus.

Last May, Needham-based BigBelly brought in $3.2 million in funding from undisclosed investors, adding to a $1.1 million round of Angel funding in 2005.

Green Line colleges are becoming a hub for box-shaped robotic technology: Last month, MooBella installed one of its ice cream vending machines at Northeastern.
