The new underground bins in Eddington,Cambridge on Sept 13th. Wheelie bins could soon be a thing of the past after a new district installed UNDERGROUND bins for residents. Council workers have now begun collecting rubbish from the new system, which is the BIGGEST of its kind in the UK an features steel bin chutes set into the pavement, feeding into large underground chambers. A sensor notifies the council when it is full and a specialist lorry hoists the container out of the ground with a crane and empties the waste into the vehicle.
