Bigbelly’s
Smart Compost Program

Smart Compost is the proven, cost-effective, scalable solution for multi-family residential food waste collection.

Only needing one Smart Compost bin for every 100 households means the operating cost of a Smart Compost program is 50% lower than a similar scale curbside program.

With Smart Compost, a large-scale residential food waste collection program can be up and running in a matter of weeks.
