New York City’s Ron Gonen is making efforts to double the city’s 1,000 recycling bins by 15 percent within the next five years. However, the Alliance of Downtown New York and the British clean-tech company J.M. Ornstein is making a contribution to the city’s efforts.
Shortly there will be a high-tech recycling bin installed in the Financial District at Whitehall Plaza on Whitehall and Water street The British company,
Media Metrica, Ltd., is shipping the $47,000 bomb proof recycling bin from England.
The same company is gearing up for the 2012 Summer Olympics and placing Renew Recycle Bins around London. Not only do these new recycling bins provide the public to practice “greener” actions but it also provides to be a communication “pod”. The bins will come equipped with dual, street facing LCD screens that show important information to those who are passing by. From weather, sports to the stock market, as well as provide “additional channels of communication for traffic, transit, weather and safety alerts.” says the Downtown Alliance.
It is also thought that these screens will provide helpful information for tourists and advertisements alike.
