Bigbelly Blog: Beyond the Bin

The IoT age leaves no room for unauthorized access, lack of workforce oversight, lost keys or broken locks. And now, neither do we.

Bigbelly is launching the latest evolution in smart waste technology: the Bigbelly Access Control System, affectionately known as "ACS."  Bigbelly ACS is a comprehensive, cloud-based Access Control System for the Bigbelly smart waste solution and your workforce, providing unprecedented visibility & fleet management capabilities. 

Now access your Bigbelly stations with just a tap of a unique key card!  No metal keys, no cylinder locks, and the addition of better operational insights.

We're putting our foot down, literally.

Imagine never having to touch a public trash can with your hands. First and foremost, it's a sigh of relief, as it's no one's first choice to touch a public waste receptacle. It's also an essential pillar in Public Health innovation: to limit the interaction between the pedestrians and public waste. Smart, sustainable cities are healthy cities, after all.

Congratulations are certainly in order for the newest San Francisco Community Benefit District (CBD) to launch a fully-fledged fleet of Bigbelly Smart Waste Stations.  Welcome to the Bigbelly family, Tenderloin!

Helping keep communities clean is in our DNA.  Bigbelly was founded on the idea of using clean, renewable solar to offset diesel fumes and keep litter off our streets and parks.  With this new challenge facing the world, we are also doing our part to help curb the spread of infectious diseases - and help our communities get back on track.
