Congratulations to each and every one of these colleges and universities!

They are able to reallocate time previously spent collecting trash bins to more visibly meaningful efforts on campus – from groundskeeping to facility maintenance and landscaping to snow removal!

The Bigbelly connected systems worldwide captured, contained, and collected 144,112,133 gallons (545,523,766 liters) of waste in public spaces in 2018. Over half of Bigbelly customer deployments have multiple waste streams and 22,520,056 gallons (85,247,685 liters) were diverted from landfills throughout last year thanks to pedestrians’ proper disposal in Bigbelly units dedicated to recycling and compost streams.
