My old apartment in Columbus had a trash compacting dumpster. Not nearly as small and definitely not solar powered. However it boasted some of the same advantages: less need for pick up and also more sanitary. The dumpster wouldn't get all full at the end of the week and then have trash sitting around it like most dumpsters.

I liked putting really large things in it to hear it smash them.

Scary thing is, you locked it from the outside so if someone was to push you in and lock the door...
