    City of Philadelphia unveiled 500 solar-powered trash compactors and 210 recycling units. After replacing 700 receptacles, The City collects only 5 times a week, at an annual operating cost of about $720,000. Performing those 17 collections each week required 33 workers on 3 shifts, while performing the 5 collections per week under the new program requires only 9 workers on a single shift.
