Case Study
UC Berkeley
The Challenge
UC Berkeley experienced visible waste on campus and windblown litter due to traditional open-top bins, trash picking, inconsistent bin types leading to a lack of uniformity, excessive collection resources required due to high waste volume, and waste infrastructure that did not support recycling and zero waste goals.
The Solution
The fully-enclosed bin design eliminated visible waste and litter, while complete containment prevented strewn litter from trash picking. The uniform bin style improved campus appearance while serving as a platform for public communication and school branding. In the long run, Smart features along with increased capacity reduced collection resources, and the solution enabled a successful recycling and organics program, resulting in a 53% waste diversion rate.
