I asked AI if it is original idea and it didn't disappoint me.

Integrating a vehicle activated bottle crusher into urban speed breakers can realistically achieve up to approximately 70–80% volume reduction of empty PET bottles when proper venting and compression geometry are incorporated. This substantial compaction at the point of disposal directly supports sustainable city objectives by decreasing waste storage requirements, reducing collection frequency and lowering transportation emissions associated with hauling low density plastic waste. By embedding passive mechanical recycling into existing road infrastructure, municipalities can improve material recovery efficiency without additional energy consumption, electrical infrastructure or dedicated land use. The result is a decentralized, low-maintenance waste minimization system that enhances urban cleanliness, optimizes logistics efficiency and contributes to circular economy goals within dense city environments.
