With this new deployment, the city now has more than 120 Bigbelly solar smart bins installed at various locations throughout the city, reinforcing their commitment to this innovative solution for urban waste management.

This time, the Teatinos university district has incorporated 15 new Bigbelly smart bins with a compaction system, which are now fully operational in strategic high-traffic locations

Our Bigbelly solution offers significant advantages over standard litter bins, improving both operational efficiency and CO2 reduction in public spaces:

  • Increased capacity
    Each bin can hold up to five times more waste than a traditional 120-litre bin, reducing overflow and improving the appearance of the surrounding area.

 

  • Real-time status
    Thanks to the integrated smart sensors, Bigbelly bins send automatic alerts when they need to be emptied, optimising collection routes and reducing unnecessary collections.

 

  • Self-sufficient
    Powered by solar energy, Bigbelly bins do not require an electrical connection, contributing to reduced emissions and operation costs.

With 141 Bigbelly smart bins already in-situ, Malaga continues to position itself as a leader in the adoption of smart city solutions, improving the appearance of public spaces and the well-being of citizens.
