Um, wouldn't the be some kind of smell involved with burning methane? Also, people barely separate their trash now,what stops them from tossing non-food crap in there?

Korben: Lack of light, perhaps?

Bravo!

They look like powered toothbrushes! Hehe.

Do the math, before you render your idea, a pretty picture does not equal a feasible system.

Yeah, except 98% of what is thrown away is going to be plastic and other inorganic (non-compostable) materials. Composting takes a long time, proper conditions, and pretty much 100% organic content. So this is crap.

Oh, but the horribly translated ad for it is HILARIOUS! "Oneself development of food garbage? It by methane gas? Does not electric wire connection need?" Someone in marketing should lose their job if they can't find a single person with a novice understanding of English.

I must say this is a pretty good idea for a street light, unfortuneatly it is to impractical. Supposing they get this running perfectly with properly translated ads, instructions, non-smelly odors, and no douches throwing non organic waste in there, the fact is that no one in a city is going to be constantly hauling around their organic waste in search of a street light that needs it. Because of that many will not be filled. Given the rate it takes food to compost you really wouldn't need to put much in, but I still doubt they would get filled. Also if they did and someone were to bring waste to it seeing it filled, they would probably just leave their trash outside since they don't want to search for another light.

This could be very practial if a people personally owned them and used them at the end of their drive ways, but they are very ugly so i doubt that will happen. Over all it's a good idea being used in the wrong device, this would be much better applied to a battery backup for houses in the event power goes out or something (i doubt you could get enough garbage in there to have it work as a full on generator.)
