We’re delighted to see our Bigbelly bins in Kilkenny City taking on a fresh new look that not only                                      supports cleaner public spaces but also helps highlight the city’s rich cultural offering.

The updated bin wraps feature some of Kilkenny’s most notable attractions, including the Medieval                       Mile Museum, Butler Gallery, St. Canice’s Cathedral & Round Tower, Rothe House and Gardens                        and The Famine Experience at MacDonagh Junction. By incorporating these landmarks into                          everyday street infrastructure, the initiative adds an extra layer of visibility and storytelling to the                         urban environment.

This project is a great example of how smart waste solutions can go beyond functionality. While Bigbelly              units are designed to improve waste management through efficiency, capacity, and cleanliness, they                        can also play a role in enhancing the overall visitor experience. By reflecting local identity and promoting                key destinations, these bins become part of the city’s wider engagement with residents and tourists alike.

As cities continue to look for ways to create cleaner, more connected public spaces, initiatives like this show        how practical infrastructure can contribute to a stronger sense of place.
