Wan Tsui Estate (traditional Chinese: 環翠邨) is a public estate located at a part of former Chai Wan Estate and opposite to Chai Wan Station. It now has 11 residential buildings completed between 1979 and 2001.
環翠邨（Wan Tsui Estate）是香港島上的一個公共屋邨，位於香港東區柴灣，港鐵柴灣站現址附近一帶，前身為柴灣邨16至22座，第一座重建後的大廈於1979年落成後，房委會便將柴灣邨16至22座重新命名為環翠邨。

Some of the compacts that I love. I think these are some of the most fun you can have with a film camera.

The second generation of the Renault Kangoo was built from 2007 until 2021. Part of the range is this Compact model. This model is often used by surveillance companies over here. It's seems to be a little too small for the owner of this one, seeing the additional box on the roof...
Atacama Compact Array (ACA) on the ALMA high site at an altitude of 5000 metres in northern Chile. The ACA is a subset of 16 closely separated antennas that will greatly improve ALMAâs ability to study celestial objects with a large angular size, such as molecular clouds and nearby galaxies. The antennas forming the Atacama Compact Array, four 12-metre antennas and twelve 7-metre antennas, were produced and delivered by Japan.

This is something a little different I only know of Willoughby and City of Sydney councils utilising for waste management, being chute systems coupled to waste compactors, which feed steel containers. Not really something you see in the modern buildings for waste disposal, but it was a popular idea in at least these two councils when the high rise residential buildings started going up in the 1990s and 2000s. Pretty simple how it works, residents drop their garbage into the chute from whichever level they’re at, rubbish falls into the hopper and eventually a blade packer will cycle multiple times to clear the material and load the bin. When full, the bin is changed over with one of a number of empty ones so the system can continuously operate. Benefits of this system compared to plastic bins are that you’re working with very durable containers having a long lifespan, fewer bins are required due to the greater holding capacity and a much smaller garbage room is needed. What does suck about these compactor bins is when they’re overloaded, sometimes becoming very difficult to move and an even greater pain in the arse to empty out when there’s a big dense brick of heavy rubbish stuck inside. Although when they’re filled up a rational amount and all equipment is utilised responsibly, these are no problem to service. Both of the pictured compactor rooms belong to buildings built in 2000 and 1999, with two different packer systems which do indeed pack well, sometimes bringing the gross weight of these bins to over a tonne. Given the nature of the job, these 1.5m bins are also fabricated with extra ribbed reinforcement to withstand the packing force and mass of the loads.
I had to use that cockpit again!
