A Bigbelly for Every Space: Bigbelly at RCon™ 2025

We’re looking forward to joining sustainability, recycling, and public works leaders at RCon™ 2025, happening November 12–15 in Columbus, Ohio hosted by SWANA. [link to swana’s RCON: https://swana.org/events/rcon2025]

Across parks, campuses, downtown districts, waterfronts, and transit gateways, Bigbelly helps communities create cleaner, more welcoming public spaces by transforming how waste, recycling, and composting are managed right where people gather. 🌿✨

Why Public Space Waste Systems Matter

Public spaces shape how communities feel, function, and welcome people in. When waste systems are open, exposed, overflowing, or inconsistent, it becomes harder to maintain cleanliness, pride, accessibility, and comfort in the shared environment.

Bigbelly provides communities with a better way: fully-enclosed, purpose-built waste, recycling, and composting systems designed specifically for public spaces where aesthetics, experience, and efficiency matter.

A Full Portfolio — A Bin for Every Space

Bigbelly offers the only complete portfolio of fully-enclosed public space waste and recycling systems:

Non-compacting, fully-enclosed bins for a clean, consistent appearance
Multi-stream waste & recycling kiosks that improve sorting and reduce contamination
Solar-powered smart compactors that increase capacity and reduce collections by 60–80%
Cloud-connected waste intelligence to service only when needed
And the Smart Compost Program featuring Bluetooth-enabled access and a free mobile app for clean, community-friendly composting

With this approach, each space gets the right configuration — matched to how people use it and how crews support it.

One platform. Many configurations.
There is a Bigbelly for every space.

The Smart Compost Program

Communities ready to expand food scrap diversion can deploy the Smart Compost Program, designed to make composting clean, intuitive, and accessible in shared public spaces.

This solution:

Controls access through Bluetooth-enabled entry
Uses a free mobile app for simple participation
Reduces contamination through design and messaging
Maintains a clean public realm experience

This helps communities grow composting programs with confidence, participation, and measurable results.
