Two Roscommon students took home top prize at the National Student Enterprise Programme Awards this week
Joshua McCormack and Evan McNeil from Roscommon Community College were inspired from seeing people climbing into wheelie bins to try and compact their rubbish manually and created the 'McCompactor' to solve the issue.
As well as winning the overall award, both students also captured the Senior, Social Media and Intellectual Property categories.
Roscommon's other winner was 'Chopping Away' from St. Nathy's College Ballaghaderreen, who won the Intellectual property award in the intermediate category, represented by Olivia, Rachel and Dean Beirne.
