Athens approves solar trash and recycling compactors downtown
Athens City Council approved a three year lease with Big Belly to place 24 compactors and six existing cans in the downtown area. The $50,000 yearly price will be paid from the trash fund, which has grown after hiring a litter officer. Officials say the move will cut downtown trash collection costs and reduce emissions, while some critics call it too expensive and prefer buying receptacles.
