• The Big Belly Solar Compactor is a revolutionary trash receptacle that uses solar power for 100% of its energy needs. It is safe, easy to use, keeps out pests, and is designed to withstand all weather conditions.
• The capacity of the Big Belly is 5 times greater than standard trash bins. This reduces the number of required collection trips and can cut fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions by 80%.
• Depending on collection frequency, a standard trash bin costs between $7,300 and $30,000 over its lifetime. The lifetime operational costs of the Big Belly are between $6,000 and $12,000.
