Transforming Communities
Bigbelly Smart Waste & Recycling System is revolutionizing waste management in municipalities of all sizes, from small towns to major metropolitan areas. By offering configurable solutions that cater to the unique needs of each community, Bigbelly is transforming public spaces into cleaner and more beautiful environments. With the elimination of windblown litter and waste overflows, streets are becoming more aesthetically pleasing and inviting for residents and visitors alike.
Promoting Community Engagement
One of the key features of the Bigbelly system is its customizable graphic wraps and message panels that promote community messaging. By delivering informative content on these panels, Bigbelly encourages community engagement and awareness, resulting in more informed and involved communities. This direct line of communication helps create a sense of ownership and pride in shared spaces, fostering a stronger sense of community spirit.
Efficiency and Sustainability
Bigbelly's Smart and Smart Max bins are equipped with sensors that communicate ready-to-collect status, optimizing waste collection processes. The Smart Max compactors, with their large capacity, can hold up to 5 times more waste than traditional bins. This increased efficiency can lead to a reduction of over 80% in waste collections, saving both time and resources. Furthermore, by promoting public space recycling and reducing collections, municipalities can significantly decrease greenhouse gas emissions and fuel consumption, contributing to a more sustainable future.
Success Story: City of Philadelphia
The City of Philadelphia serves as a prime example of the success of the Bigbelly Smart Waste & Recycling System. Facing the challenge of maintaining cleanliness in busy commercial corridors, Philadelphia adopted the smart waste and recycling solution. By reducing collection frequency from 17 times to just 3 times per week, the city experienced substantial cost savings and cleaner streets that are easier to maintain. This shift not only improved operational efficiency but also enhanced the overall cleanliness and attractiveness of Philadelphia's public spaces.
