Future Street works with Smart Cities across Europe to implement Bigbelly smart waste management programs to drive citizen engagement and operational productivity.

Cities leverage Bigbelly across every neighbourhood in town – from offering free public Wifi in the outlying communities suffering a digital divide, to hosting wireless equipment in dense urban areas facing a bandwidth deficit. All communities that deploy Bigbelly units know that their public spaces will be kept clean and litter-free for constituent enjoyment. Moreover, collection crews reduce waste & recycling collections by 70-80% on average.

Councils use Bigbelly to enhance streetscape aesthetics and keep constituents engaged. Cleaner, safer, and less congested pedestrian areas are made available. Deploy public space Wifi to engage visitors to the area, a location-based beacon network to drive customers to local businesses, and people counting sensors to refine service delivery based on traffic patterns through the area.

Parks create more compelling, vibrant public areas for constituents to gather and entice visitors to stay longer. Total containment ensures waste stays in and pests stay out to create cleaner, safer parks for all. With Bigbelly stations, citizens and visitors can enjoy Internet access via public space Wifi hotspots and find localised information in clean, critter-free environments. These hard-to-reach locations avoid the disruption typically required to run power and fiber through greenspace for additional services.

Ensure that riders have a positive experience while waiting or disembarking the bus, train, or tram with Bigbelly. Deploy Wifi hotspots in waste stations nearby to deliver public Internet access for access to schedules during the wait. Add a location-based beacon network to target nearby businesses, attractions, and events. Built-in compaction and knowing exactly which stations to collect, removes the common challenges of overflows and unnecessary collections of empty bins.

Waterfront areas use Bigbelly to keep the walkways clean and waste out of the water. Visitors enjoy beautiful ports, harbours, and beaches that are free of waste, and where seagulls are kept at bay. In addition, the platform can deliver public Wifi service to enhance the visitor’s experience and enable waterfront visitors to linger longer in a connected environment. Collection crews spend time on more meaningful work with up to 80% fewer collections.
