2021 Webinar: The Placemaking & Operational Benefits of Smart Waste (April 14)

Downtowns, city centers and neighborhood districts around the world implement the Bigbelly Smart Waste & Recycling Solution to better deliver on the promise to serve their communities and stay poised for success in the future.

Among the most impactful ways that Bigbelly’s Smart Waste solution empowers urban place management organizations are first, engaging in innovative Placemaking to create cleaner, safer public spaces, and second, improving Operational Efficiency & Workforce Development. Each district is unique, and they have leveraged the benefits of Smart Waste technology throughout the recent years accordingly. Adopting Bigbelly technology allows organizations to evolve with the social, political and economic landscape, adapting to the needs of the community at each stage.

After a year where operational agility has been tested, downtowns, city centers and neighborhood districts are looking ahead to a (very near) future when foot traffic will return. As exciting as the inevitable return is, districts must create an infrastructure that is prepared to handle increased pedestrian waste volume and ensure proactive public health and safety.  Just as Bigbelly has helped organizations evolve in the past, the Placemaking, Operational Efficiency, and Workforce Development benefits of Smart Waste technology prepares them comprehensively for the future. 

Join two leaders in the national urban place management community speak on how a Bigbelly’s Smart Waste solution has supported Placemaking & Operational Efficiency, how their BIDs have evolved in these aspects in recent years, and how they are preparing for the future with Smart Waste technology.  

Learning Objectives:
  • Operational Efficiency & Workforce Development: How organizations “Do more for Less,” maximizing their time and labor force through Collection Reduction, Data Analytics and Reporting. Communities experience up to 80% collection reductions with a smart waste fleet and compaction technology. This results in decreased truck rolls, vehicle wear, and fuel consumption. In implementing Smart Waste, BIDs expand the roles & potential of their ambassador staff as they engage with the dynamic system
  • Placemaking: How downtowns, city centers and neighborhood districts create clean, safe, attractive and innovative public spaces for their community using the Bigbelly Smart Waste solution. Through placemaking, districts fulfill their promise to their communities to increase foot traffic and local business interest.
  • Prepared for the Future: How Bigbelly has evolved with the needs of downtowns throughout each stage of their development, helping them address their current needs and projects. How Bigbelly empowers organizations to create a future-focused public space infrastructure. Looking at the months and years ahead, as foot traffic makes a full return, Smart Waste is essential to Placemaking, Operational Efficiency, and Workforce Development
