Clever Bins Limited was UK company that provided solar-powered street litter bin that displayed digital outdoor advertising.[2]

Clever Bin

The 'Clever Bins' came with A2 sized display panels that were lit up by directional LED beams. The panels came with military standard Riot shielding. Some models of the bin could broadcast messages to near by mobile devices.

The bins used solar power that, even in cloudy conditions, could charge the units for up to 7 hours of illumination. The level of illumination was regulated depending on the power available.

Funding
