HOW MUCH SUNLIGHT DOES IT NEED?
The BigBelly system runs on a 12-Volt battery, which is kept charged
by the solar panel.The battery reserve lasts for a couple weeks without
any sunlight. Even in winter, with short days and cold temperatures,
the units require minimal sunlight.The BigBelly system performs well
in northern latitudes, including Vancouver, Canada, and under cloudy
conditions.
DO THE BAGS GET TOO HEAVY?
Customers have not had problems with bag weight. Because the bag is
readily lifted out of the low-height bin, workers have found the BigBelly
system simple and ergonomically friendly to use.
IS THE MACHINE SAFE TO USE?
The BigBelly system is safe and easy for anyone to use. The trash deposit
hopper prevents hands from reaching into the compaction area.The unit
is locked, and the motor cannot operate with either the trash removal
door or rear access panel open.The machine runs on a safe, low-voltage
system.
DOES IT CREATE MORE ODOR PROBLEMS THAN A
REGULAR TRASH CAN?
The system is enclosed, so odors are contained inside. Customers in
New York City have reported fewer odors from the BigBelly system in
summer heat than from the open-air cans they replaced.

IS THE UNIT SUSCEPTIBLE TO VANDALISM?
It’s made tough: the BigBelly system is constructed of heavygauge
galvanized steel, and has a thick Lexan polycarbonate cover to protect
the solar panel from impact, scratches and graffiti.To date, vandalism
and graffiti have not been a customer concern.
IS IT RESISTANT TO SAND AND SALTWATER?
The exterior has passed 10-year accelerated life-cycle corrosion testing.
Customers with machines at beaches have had no problems with sand.The
weather-resistant powder-coat finish over galvanized steel is designed
for long life in icy and marine environments.
