Track recycling diversion

Bigbelly’s offers an advanced solution for tracking recycling diversion in public spaces. Our system effectively manages up to four different streams—single stream, paper, bottles & cans, and compostables—alongside general waste. Bigbelly stations are not just functional; they’re a powerful tool for environmental change. Studies have shown that bins with high-visibility, brightly colored wraps significantly boost recycling participation while reducing contamination, making them a vital component in effective recycling programs.

By adopting Bigbelly’s multi-stream approach, you’re not only encouraging proper recycling but also actively measuring and improving diversion rates. This initiative plays a crucial role in reducing your carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions through decreased fuel usage and vehicle pollution.

All operational data, including live fill rates and historical analysis, is accessible via the CLEAN platform, offering a comprehensive view of waste management efficiency. With Bigbelly, you gain a dynamic system that enhances urban sustainability, fosters community engagement in recycling efforts, and drives down contamination rates.

Increasing diversion away from general waste

Bigbelly’s innovative system is designed to significantly increase the diversion of waste away from general landfill-bound streams. By offering separate compartments for recyclables like paper, bottles, and cans, our units encourage users to sort their waste more effectively. This separation not only increases recycling rates but also contributes to a substantial reduction in general waste, supporting a more sustainable waste management approach in public spaces.

Supporting the Circular Economy

Bigbelly plays a pivotal role in supporting the circular economy by maximizing recycling and composting efforts. Our units help keep valuable materials in circulation, ensuring they are reused or recycled instead of contributing to landfill mass. This approach not only conserves resources but also promotes a sustainable cycle of production and consumption, aligning with the principles of the circular economy and fostering environmental stewardship.

Digital Tracking

With Bigbelly’s digital tracking capabilities, managing waste streams becomes a data-driven process. The CLEAN platform provides live monitoring of fill rates and detailed historical data, enabling precise tracking of waste and recycling patterns. This digital oversight allows for more efficient collection schedules, reducing operational costs and environmental impact, and provides valuable insights for continuous improvement of waste management strategies.
