We don’t like to think about our waste. But collecting, managing, and getting rid of our trash is a huge issue for municipalities and organizations around the world. Especially in densely populated areas, because there is just so much of it.
So that is one of the reasons that I brought on Luciano Guido to the podcast today. He is the Founder and CEO of Solar Outdoor Media, and they have created the Solar Wifi Eco Bin, which has so many amazing features.
So make sure you watch the full episode to hear Luciano’s incredible business model and how he is not only generating income for his business, but also able to share his profits with the municipality or organization that he is working with. To help them implement even more sustainable solutions and beautify our cities.
