Throw some junk and learn something amazing! Is it on Västerås new trash cans from Bigbelly

Garbage cans designed for different garbage creatures and share a piece of information via sound, every time someone throws rubbish in the bin. The project launched in Västerås is based on curiosity and contains 100 different audio files with facts in sustainability, animals, nature and health.

The new talking Bigbelly The bins with built-in sound module are a direct result of the action plan for a safer city that the City of Västerås and Västerås City Samverkan developed together. The goal is to reduce littering and at the same time make it fun to throw away trash.

The execution corresponds to the city's three strategic development areas; It is an idea that works with curiosity and learning to increase well-being and contribute to an ecologically sustainable city, says Anna Thunell, Chairman of the Technical Board, City of Västerås.

Bigbelly The barrels have produced good results in other cities in reducing littering, and we would like to see this as the beginning of a venture that the entire city gets to take part in.

Sustainable garbage cans

Bigbellys bins are in more ways smarter than the traditional bins. They compress the junk automatically and can then take care of large volumes in public environments. If emptying is needed, the bins notify their filling level directly to staff via the cloud-based application CLEAN or e-mail.

Bigbellys smart bins power themselves with renewable solar energy and provide the opportunity for advanced standalone technology with different types of themes, both in terms of sound and design.
