Transportation
Transportation officials face a unique challenge in managing waste. With a jurisdiction that ranges from high-traffic public transit stations to remote rest stops, officials struggle to implement an efficient waste collection system that can effectively manage both isolated and dense locations.
In high traffic terminals, waste levels often exceed receptacle capacity resulting in litter and odor which detracts from the visitor experience. Rest stops are often located in remote locations, requiring expensive, time-consuming waste collection trips. Now there's a perfect solution for both of these waste management problems: BigBelly.
BigBelly has an insatiable appetite for trash. By harnessing the sun's energy to compact trash at the point of disposal, each BigBelly can hold 5x more trash than conventional trash receptacles. Its enclosed design significantly reduces the overflow and odor associated with conventional receptacles.
Ultimately, BigBelly's huge capacity translates into one big advantage: Transportation officials can now eliminate 4 out of every 5 collection trips, reducing associated costs and emissions by 80%.
Here are examples of several transportation organizations that have successfully employed BigBelly:
- Colorado Department of Transportation
- Downtown Flushing Transit Hub, New York, NY
- Chicago Transit Authority
