The City of Lucerne – Solar Press-Sharks and waste management
After the City of Lucerne bought a Solar Press-Shark and tested it for six months, they were impressed with the product, and the first Solar Press Sharks were delivered and installed along the Schweizerhofquai promenade. The background to this was primarily that the existing 110-litre litter bins along Schweizerhofquai had reached their limits. They were having to be emptied 4-5 times a day during the summer months. With the Solar Press-Shark, the situation could be improved. Schweizerhofquai is frequented not only by residents but also by many tourists.
The City of Lucerne has now placed over 40 Solar Press-Sharks in busy pedestrian areas and bus stops etc. They did not place the Solar Press-Sharks in areas where events frequently take place, so as to avoid having to dismantle them. That’s why Europaplatz, for example, has no Solar Press-Sharks, but instead has 150-litre Littersharks fitted with Shark Eyes. These are easier to remove.
Since the Solar Press-Shark can hold 5-7 times more waste than a conventional 110-litre bin, the City of Lucerne has been able to optimise emptying intervals, especially at weekends. This avoids evening emptying, which means that on weekdays and weekends alike, the maintenance workers no longer have to empty the bins along the promenade as late as 10 o’clock at night, which had always presented a security issue. Thanks to the Shark Island, the fill levels can also be checked at any time. This saves work for the City of Lucerne and enhances safety and security.

The shark island helps us understand which containers are consistently full and where we may need to make adjustments in some circumstances. We can also see if it’s just one container at a time in a perimeter that’s always overfilled.
