Funding the System
The BigBelly Solar intelligent waste & recycling collection system is a powerful and innovative way to achieve operational and financial benefits, while also advancing your community’s or institution’s sustainability goals.
With networked intelligence and a mix & match family of sensing and compacting stations to fit the characteristics of every location, the BigBelly System delivers the optimal waste & recycling footprint for your public space needs. Comparing monthly operational savings to monthly system costs, the savings typically exceed the costs substantially – often by 50% or more. This ability to generate immediate positive operating benefit and cash flow can be exploited by customers in a number of flexible ways:
- For customers who wish to leverage the BigBelly System benefits so that operating costs in its budget are offset by operating savings, BigBelly Solar and its financing partners can provide an operating lease whereby the customer is, in effect, “renting” a service and not taking ownership of any purchased assets.
- For customers who wish to use capital dollars, BigBelly offers capital leasing programs (lease-to-own) that allow customers to spread out its capital costs in a manner that better matches anticipated savings.
- Customers may also directly acquire the BigBelly System from BigBelly Solar or its distribution partners BigBelly as a capital purchase, which may come out of annual budgetary appropriations or be part of a multi-purpose bond. The BigBelly System typically satisfies requirements for capital-eligibility.
Regardless of the method used to acquire the BigBelly System and its benefits, your investment will return dividends with each eliminated collection as you reallocate labor, conserve fuel and extend the life of your vehicles and infrastructure.
