The Eddington development has a communal waste disposal system. These cylinders admit waste (separated into paper, other recyclables, and landfill) into underground silos. Collection lorries only visit the silos when sensors detect they are nearly full, thus hopefully cutting route mileage and hence carbon emissions.
