What looks like a simple street corner is actually a glimpse into one of the world’s smartest waste-management systems 🇳🇱♻️ Across the Netherlands, garbage bins are hidden underground, storing waste several meters below the surface. When full, specialized trucks use hydraulic cranes to lift, empty, and replace the containers—smoothly and efficiently—without cluttering streets or spreading odors. By freeing up urban space, keeping pests away, and holding up to 5× more waste than traditional bins, this system reduces collection trips, noise, and emissions. It’s clean, quiet, and brilliantly engineered. #technology A perfect example of how smart urban planning makes sustainability almost invisible—yet incredibly effective.
