Introduction

Boston Housing Authority piloted secure waste and recycling enclosures at Bunker Hill to tackle rats, illegal dumping, and low recycling rates. Since mid-2024, the site has seen cleaner conditions, higher recycling participation, and a 22% waste diversion rate—prompting plans to expand the program citywide.

“I stopped in my tracks when I saw the metroSTOR display — exactly what I wanted for our downtown. The Eco-Stations have made things much better organized, and the informational stickers help educate customers. If equipment can withstand downtown Athens, it can survive anyplace.”
