Bigbelly scores a drop goal in Rugby


Rugby Borough Council has reduced its annual waste collections by 49,591 in only 12 months after replacing 56 traditional bins with 23 Bigbelly smart stations.


Located within the birthplace of one of the world’s most loved sports, Rugby Borough Council was making two to three collections per day for each traditional bin, which amounted to 51,100 waste collections a year. Since integrating Bigbelly’s smart


stations on 6 October 2015, they now make only 1,509 waste collections a year – a saving of 97 per cent. Sean Lawson, Head of Environment and


Public Realm at Rugby Borough Council, commented: “For a long time now we’ve wanted to do things differently, yet couldn’t find the solution that could achieve what we needed without going over budget. “Now that we’ve found Bigbelly, not only

looking at a smart device or office computer.” Busy parks and children’s play


areas were also experiencing overfull bins, particularly over the weekends, which meant waste collection crews were having to commit resources to making specific collections to only a handful of units. Using Bigbelly, the council no

authorities’ waste teams, all of which are now required to achieve more than ever before with smaller budgets. “Rugby Borough Council has demonstrated


that by integrating smart technology, not only can councils make their waste budgets go further but also improve the sustainability credentials of their local environments.”
