There are now five new BigBelly solar compactors eating up trash throughout Biltmore and Burnside Parks as well as Kennedy Plaza proper.
The BigBelly “uses the sun’s energy to compact trash at the point of disposal, dramatically increasing capacity by 5 times within the same footprint as ordinary receptacles. Increased capacity reduces collection trips and can cut related fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions by 80%.”
Made in the USA, BigBelly can operate for eight years on the equivalent energy it takes to drive a garbage truck one mile!
