I have to admit, I feel kind of bad trashing the Big Belly solar compactors that have been popping up around the city. In theory they’re good. And while there are no replacements yet for the ones on Newbury Street or Mass. Ave., I’ve seen some new models in Copley, Central, and Harvard squares. These ones are a new design and seem to be getting much less disgusting.
I’m still not a fan of touching the handles, though. Do you hear me, Big Belly? I want motion detectors or foot pedals! Oh, well. Until a newer model comes out I guess I’ll just have to carry hand sanitizer….
