Bronx Borough President Diaz Jr. willannounce the purchase and installation of 15 BigBelly Solar Compactor/Recycling Kiosks. See the event Monday Oct 26th at the Bronx Museum of Art 1040 Grand Concourse, at 9:30 am, free and open to the public. These solar powered compactors are supposed to make it easier for the garbage trucks. They are designed to reduce global warming, greenhouse gases produced by garbage trucks by eliminating truck journeys by as much as 80%. A BigBelly Compactor will be in display during the event.
Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. will host the second meeting of the New York State Intergovernmental Energy Partnership (NYS IEP), a group founded by Diaz Jr., Congressman Steve Israel (NY02), the Mayor of Syracuse Matt Driscoll, and NYS Assemblywoman RoAnn Destito, to unite elected officials from throughout the state in moving New York forward as an “Advanced Energy Center.”
This second meeting will provide Bronx-based businesses with information about how to have access to federal resources, details on funding still available through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, as well as New York State Energy Research Development Authority (NYSERDA) funding streams. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act has already made $313 million available to our state.

BigBellys are where it's at with garbage collection. Rats can't get in and you don't have those noisy trucks waking you up every morning. Nice move here in the Bronx. You gotta know sanitation ain't too happy about 'em. TS DOS!
