Big Belly is another fantastic product that we represent which addresses a number of issues. As their website states “The BigBelly ® System is a patented compacting trash receptacle that is completely self-powered. Instead of requiring a grid connection, BigBelly uses solar power for 100% of its energy needs. The unit takes up as much space as the "footprint" of an ordinary receptacle—but its capacity is five times greater. Increased capacity reduces collection trips and can cut fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions by 80%. BigBelly also provides cost efficiencies from labor savings, fuel cost and maintenance savings, as well as environmental benefits from reduced emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants. Safe, easy to use, and designed to keep out pests, the BigBelly has already proven its worth in urban streets, parks, colleges, arenas—and in all weather conditions.”. The BigBelly system automatically compacts trash down to a fraction of its original volume, packing 5 trash cans worth into a single receptacle. That avoids 4 out of every 5 collection trips on average, saving time, money and fuel. This also means less diesel soot in the neighborhood and less CO2 warming the planet. BigBelly is the only trash receptacle that yields a return on investment and ongoing savings. That's because the BigBelly does a lot of the work normally done by large trucks. And, BigBelly does that work automatically, using free, silent solar power. BigBelly is a wonderful solution to our solid waste concerns, it is ideal for pretty much any application, municipal or private – parks, recreation areas, marina’s, shopping malls, high to medium density residential and of course just out on the sidewalks. Below you will find a number of case studies and testimonials of past clients. When you’re ready for a test drive of the BigBelly give us a call and we would be happy to arrange a showing.
