Orlando, FL — September 12, 2025 — Bigbelly, a global leader in public space waste and recycling solutions, announced today that it will showcase its portfolio of innovative waste management systems at the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) 2025 Annual Conference, taking place in Orlando, Florida, September 16–18.
This year’s theme — “Build Together, Play Together” — celebrates the role parks and recreation professionals play in shaping spaces where communities come together to thrive. From playgrounds and ballfields to trails, beaches, and gathering places, Bigbelly solutions help ensure these spaces remain clean, welcoming, and sustainable.
“At Bigbelly, we believe public spaces should spark joy, discovery, and connection,” said Michelle Firmbach, Director of Marketing at Bigbelly. “When parks and gathering places are clean and free from litter, pests, and pollution, they become destinations where communities can truly thrive. By solving these issues at the source, our systems empower parks and recreation leaders to deliver greener, healthier, and more vibrant spaces where people of all ages can play, learn, and connect — all in the spirit of All Together Better.”
Bigbelly’s fully enclosed, smart, and solar-powered bins are designed to stop litter and pests before they spread, reduce collection frequency, and advance sustainability goals. By supporting recycling, composting, and waste diversion, Bigbelly is helping communities reduce pollution, protect natural resources, and create greener environments where future generations can flourish.
Visitors to Booth #2158 in the NRPA Expo Hall will discover how Bigbelly helps communities:
- Solve pollution at the source by eliminating litter, pests, and waste overflow
- Protect parks and ecosystems while supporting recycling and compost initiatives
- Create playful, welcoming spaces that encourage families and visitors to gather, explore, and discover
- Strengthen sustainability goals through smarter operations and reduced environmental impact
- Elevate placemaking by integrating clean, beautiful infrastructure into vibrant community spaces
“Cleaner spaces are better places,” added Firmbach. “When we build together, we make room for more play, more discovery, and more thriving communities. That’s the promise of All Together Better — and the reason we’re so proud to stand alongside park and recreation leaders at NRPA 2025.”
