Broxap and its partner PEL is bringing the next generation of smart bin technology to local authorities across the UK.
Designed to reduce costs, improve operational efficiency and minimise pollution, the BriteBin Solar delivers a wide range of benefits to communities and the street cleansing teams that serve them.
Its innovative features enable managers to optimise their litter and recycling collections while keeping towns and cities clean and tidy.
Reduces carbon emissions
Vehicle journeys associated with emptying street litter and recycling bins are reduced by up to 90% as a result of installing the BriteBin Solar, cutting carbon emissions.
This is achieved through the waste compaction facility which maximises the capacity of the bin and lowers the frequency of collections.
Powered by solar, it accurately communicates to street cleansing crews when it is full so resources are only deployed to site when necessary.
Zero running costs
The on-board sensor is powered by a battery which stores energy generated through an in-built solar panel.
The panel is encased behind a UV protected plastic cap, providing sustainable, uninterrupted power which allows the unit to take a ‘real time’ fill-level reading every three seconds.
Once full, the alert is sent to the local authority via a data management platform helping councils to save money through accurate use of resources.
Better workforce efficiency
The data provided by BriteBin gives street cleansing and waste management teams a detailed overview of which units require service, calculating direct routes to bin locations.
An easy to read traffic light system provides an accurate fill status for each bin allowing teams to calculate the best routes for fuel efficiency and carbon emissions savings.
More accurate, targeted street cleansing routes also help to minimise public disturbance linked to collections and improves the sustainability of operations.
Contactless user experience
The BriteBin is available in 120-litre, 240-litre and 360-litre capacities.
With a heavy duty powder coat finish to maximise its durability, it features foot pedal operation for a contactless user experience.
The customisable options include the addition of graphics and vinyls to communicate pro recycling and anti-litter messages and help improve consumer behaviour.
Eliminates plastic liner use
The self-contained BriteBin removes the risk of overflowing litter escaping and contaminating the local area. Its design stops the bin becoming a source of feed for vermin.
As the BriteBin compacts waste within the unit, the need to use plastic liner bags is removed.
