BigBelly as a key tool in their green toolbox

• Supports multiple recycling streams
• Actively engages community
• Highly visible use of solar
• Reduces collection vehicle traffic, fuel
use and emissions on campus

anywhere in America. This technology will save taxpayers money, introduce sidewalk
recycling and keep our streets clean. This is one more important step towards achieving our
sustainability goals.”- Mayor Nutter, City of Philadelphia

“It is not only an operational savings, but it’s also an environmental savings from less fuel.”-
Chad Townsend, Banff Environmental Services Coordinator

to be land filled – reducing tipping fees and
saving money for the city

or even turn into revenue stream
