"We are thrilled with our BigBelly units. We have been able to go from 2 trash pick-ups per day to once every 3 days indicating that they hold 6 times as much as our regular trash receptacles. We are ordering more BigBelly units for next year with a goal of replacing all our trash receptacles with the BigBelly in the next few years." - Amie Zander, Executive Director of West Ridge Chamber of Commerce, Chicago, IL
Buildings alone account for 38% of energy consumption in the United States. With smart design, property developers can significantly reduce energy costs while making less of an impact on the earth. For these reasons and more, sustainable design is rapidly becoming the premiere design method in the United States. In fact, it will soon be required by law.
BigBelly clearly showcases the benefit of energy efficiency. It uses the sun's energy to automatically compact waste at the point of disposal, increasing capacity to 5x that of a conventional waste receptacle within the same footprint. Its increased capacity reduces collection frequency by 80%, while its enclosed design prevents waste overflow from compromising the beauty of your property.
BigBelly can help you earn innovation credits as part of a project seeking green certification. It is also a highly visible demonstration of your broader green building project. BigBelly blends into a range of environments, thanks to its sleek design and small footprint. Add in its cost-saving ability and public relations potential, and it's easy to see why BigBelly waste management system is the smart choice for all types of building projects.
