Then look at this one! This company designed a new kind of trash can. The top has solar panels that collect energy from the sun and use it to compact the garbage so it can fit 5 times as much trash as a regular trash can. And that's not all: this trash can is wireless! When it's full, it sends the trash collectors a message so they know to come empty it. Is this thing smart or what?!
