Bigbelly Solar, LLC, a world leader in public space waste and recycling solutions for more than 20 years, marked the grand opening of its U.S. manufacturing facility in June 2024.

The move supports Bigbelly’s mission to make communities and public spaces better. That means cleaner, safer cities. Beautiful, more efficient campuses. And smarter, more sustainable businesses for a better guest experience. That includes offering Bigbelly commercial waste bins made locally at multiple price points to suit any budget.

The facility, which sits on the Methuen/Lawrence line, is the primary production location for Bigbelly-branded bins, from budget-friendly to high-capacity solar-powered smart waste options.

Bigbelly provides a variety of waste solutions for more than 2,500 active customers in 60 countries. Bigbelly bins deliver complete waste containment, creating safe, clean and welcoming public spaces in communities, college campuses, entertainment districts, transit hubs and businesses.

There are approximately two dozen employees at the Methuen location, performing jobs that were previously conducted by a third party outside of the U.S. until Bigbelly insourced its U.S. manufacturing operation to the Merrimack Valley. The move brings local innovative employment opportunities to the New England, enabling Bigbelly to deliver a more cost-competitive product to better our world.
