Bigbellys
Chapel Street now has Eight "
Bigbellys"!
Bigbellys are solar powered trash & recycling compactors which supports the City's Anti-Litter Campaign & Clean Cities Initiatives. This is the first round of receptacles in a pilot program.
How it works - by combining increased on-site capacity with compaction, implementing a public space recycling program and using real-time data and analytics to drive operational planning and resource allocation, Town Green can save money, reduce New Haven's carbon footprint and make our public spaces more attractive for citizens, businesses and visitors.
