Reigate & Banstead Borough Council is installing more than 120 new solar-powered litter bins to reduce litter and the borough’s carbon footprint.

The smart bins use solar power to compact the waste inside and send a message to the council’s cleansing team when they need emptying.

The council says these Big Belly Bins can hold at least five times more than traditional litter bins.

Cllr Hannah Avery, executive member for Neighbourhood Services, said: ‘We’re taking litter seriously and our new solar-powered bins, including eight recycling bins, will make it easier for people to dispose of their rubbish responsibly and help keep Reigate & Banstead litter free and looking good.’
