Frequently Asked Questions

  •  Why is Such a Device Necessary?

In ever growing cities, it is necessary to collect the garbage of the products consumed where people crowd, meet, relax or entertain collectively. Because putting big-sized garbage containers to such places will cause disfiguration, smaller garbage cans are used, which are soon filled up and overflowed, causing environmental pollution and decreasing the urban quality perception.

For solving this problem, we have developed a project for container which is small in size but can compact garbage 5 times its volume. We conceive this product as a modern container so as to improve urban aesthetics and quality, and it will be capable of holding publicity posters


  • Where Will It be Used?

It is ideal for crowded main streets with heavy pedestrian traffic; concert areas, music venues, celebration areas, sports fields, waiting areas, universities, school gardens, airports, trains and train stations, metro and sea transportation waiting lounges etc.


  • How Does It Save?

It will ensure savings in the expenditure of staff and garbage collection from garbage containers, which currently necessitate at least two collections a day. Our highly innovative i-City Compactor possesses a garbage compacting mechanism which enables storing 5 times more garbage compared with its size, and this means only one collection every two or three days, reducing labor costs and the number of workers, and, as a result, the number of garbage trucks and fuel allocated.

Instead of periodic collection visits in fixed times, the new containers will only be collected when they are full as it will be possible to monitor their garbage volume remotely.. Additionally, three sides of the container will be suitable for attaching ads and this will enable an additional income for its investor.
