Images of underground trash bins recently put in place in Taiyuan, Shanxi province have been getting attention online and the concept has been praised as an efficient, less foul alternative to your average trash can.
The underground bin measures 1.9 meters wide, 2.8 meters deep and can hold around 1.5 tons, according to CNTV. Its huge capacity can handle garbage from 500 to 800 families, the report said, all while preventing rotten smells from seeping through the sealed lids. The bins also require a special truck with a compression function and a capacity around 15 times larger than a regular garbage truck.
