The purchase of the big belly solar compactors would compliment the recent improvements that the City made to Farley Street in Hutto’s downtown.  The rehabilitation project added sidewalks, underground storm water drainage, landscaping, and benches to the downtown area.  Downtown Hutto, especially the intersection of Farley and East Street, has become a well traveled area as people frequent businesses and restaurants located in the Old Town area.  The intersection is also host to many special events such as “Second Saturday” and the traditional Old Tyme Festival.  The current trash cans are often overflowing after an event and on weekends due to the number of people visiting downtown.  The solar compactors have more capacity than traditional trash receptacles, thus reducing staff time needed to empty the trash cans.  The solar compactors also come with recycling receptacles, further promoting the City’s recycling efforts.
