Exciting developments in Kilkenny City as our Bigbelly Smart Max compactor units have undergone a vibrant transformation! In a creative blend of utility and promotion, these high-tech bins are now adorned with images celebrating iconic local landmarks like Saint Canice’s Cathedral and the Medieval Mile Museum. This innovative approach turns functional waste management into an engaging tourist showcase, enhancing both sustainability and local tourism.
Councillor Andrew McGuinness praised the initiative, calling the decorated bins “fantastic additions” to the city. Ian Gardner from Kilkenny County Council also expressed enthusiasm about the potential for expanding this project throughout the city’s urban core. This initiative not only beautifies the city but also plays a crucial role in educating residents and visitors about Kilkenny’s rich heritage.
The dual-purpose Bigbelly bins effectively manage waste while promoting Kilkenny’s cultural treasures, proving that public utilities can serve both functional and educational roles. This project is a testament to how community-focused innovations can foster a greater appreciation for local history and art, all while maintaining cleanliness and sustainability in public spaces.
It’s inspiring to see our Bigbelly units evolve beyond their traditional role, becoming a dynamic part of Kilkenny’s charm and an active participant in promoting environmental stewardship and cultural tourism.
