East Hartford Gazette, January 25, 2007 (no link)

"In an effort to reduce the calls for service, create an aesthetically pleasing entrance to our Town Hall free from little and refuse, and finally eliminate the unsanitary condition created by various vermin...an environmentally friendly, solar driven trash compacting receptacle was purchased. ...[The BigBelly] works well and so far has seemed to solve a long standing, labor intensive, vexing problem."

"Each BigBellyTM holds the same amount as six to eight standard trash cans and is fully enclosed to keep litter contained. It carries a number of safety precautions. The compactor can not operate if either the trash removal door or access panel is open, and a flap keeps hands from reaching into the compaction area. 'I am confident that we are going to have a cleaner and better Flushing than ever before,' said Flushing Assemblyman Jimmy Meng at the unveiling."

"Debra Foster, an East Hampton Town Board member who pushed the pilot program, said the machine would reduce the number of trips town employees make to collect trash, saving labor and gasoline. She said she thought the machine would pay for itself in a year. 'It's environmentally sound and economically sound,' she said."
