What A Kind Of A Garbage Can!

Municipality of Kavala has introduced the first robotic garbage can in the world. This can was bought by a greek company in Larisa, responsible for all the patents rights. But what makes this can special?
FEAUTURES
  • It's capacity. (50x usual 600lt cans).
  • Τhe door opens automatically, while a speaker gives instructions to the citizents
  • It gets cleaned automatically(see, it's connected to the city's watering system)
  • Fire protection is also installed
  • When it get full, it sends a signal to Kavala's janitors' cell phones so that they know when to collect the garbage!
  • It's made from steel, strong enough to survive on natural disasters like storms...
This can could be the future for a country like Greece, one of the most ''garbage producing'' countries in Europe. It's price is a problem of course(80.000 euros) but the mayor announced he is planning to place four more! (Note that Corfou and Salamina are interested too)
