Bigbelly SmartWaste & Recycling

A smart waste and recycling system designed for public spaces

Bigbelly SmartWaste & Recycling is a holistic solution to waste management, ranging from waste compaction to the local production of compost. The Bigbelly smart waste and recycling system is comprised of modular components that enable cities to deploy waste, recycling, and even compost stations that meet the needs of each station locations. At the core of any Bigbelly system is the CLEAN Management Console which delivers actionable data from your customized configuration of Bigbelly and Smartbelly stations. Each station provides both real-time and historical collection data that can be accessed via the cloud-based CLEAN.

While Bigbelly was initially founded on the conception of waste compaction in a user-facing station, the product offering has evolved to emphasize the multitude of data available from this incredibly valuable real estate. Cities are empowered to operate a smarter, more efficiency, cost-effective, and connected waste management fleet. The data available enables just-in-time collection, saving time and fuel while ensuring there are no overflow issues in the field.

By combining increased on-site capacity with compaction, implementing a public space recycling program that actually works and using real-time data and analytics to drive operational planning and resource allocation, cities can save money, reduce their carbon footprint and make public spaces more attractive for citizens, businesses and visitors.

Waste & Recycling Stations

There are two types of modular components: Bigbelly and Smartbelly stations. Their differences in capacity gives cities the ability to choose the right-size for each location and can help them shrink collection frequency by 70-80% in a fiscally responsible way while ensuring every street, facility, and park corner is included in a Bigbelly System deployment.
