As the festive season approaches, Whitewater Shopping Centre in Newbridge has taken a significant step towards enhancing its waste management system by welcoming the innovative Bigbelly Smart Max stations to its facilities. Installed by Future Street, these dual-function units are not only timed perfectly for the Christmas rush but are also a part of a broader initiative to promote environmental sustainability in one of Ireland’s largest regional shopping centres.
The newly installed Bigbelly stations at Whitewater are equipped with both general waste and recycling capabilities, wrapped in festive designs that add a cheerful touch while promoting eco-friendly practices among shoppers. These smart bins represent a leap forward in how waste is managed at busy retail locations, using solar power to compact rubbish, which significantly reduces the frequency of waste collection and the associated environmental impact.
Located in the bustling heart of Newbridge Town, Whitewater Shopping Centre is a key retail destination, drawing in over 5 million visitors each year thanks to its extensive range of stores and convenient amenities, including 1,700 car parking spaces. The introduction of Bigbelly’s advanced waste solutions aligns with the centre’s commitment to providing a clean, safe, and enjoyable shopping environment.
By integrating Bigbelly’s Smart Max stations, Whitewater Shopping Centre not only streamlines its operational efficiencies but also sets a benchmark for sustainability in the retail sector. These smart waste stations are a testament to Whitewater’s proactive approach to community well-being and environmental stewardship, ensuring that the shopping centre remains a beloved spot for all the right reasons as it continues to attract millions of visitors annually.
