METHUEN — Bigbelly Solar, LLC , a world leader in public space waste and recycling solutions for more than 20 years, marked the grand opening of its U.S. manufacturing facility on Monday.
The facility, which sits on the Methuen/Lawrence line, is the primary production location for Bigbelly-branded bins, from budget-friendly to solar-powered smart waste options. Speakers at Monday’s event included Mayor Neil Perry, Lawrence Mayor Brian DePeña, state Rep. Estela Reyes, state Rep.
Francisco Paulino, and Lawrence Deputy DPW Director Rosanna Del Rosario. Bigbelly provides a variety of waste solutions for more than 2,500 active customers in 60 countries. Bigbelly bins deliver complete waste containment, creating safe, clean, and welcoming public spaces in communities, college campuses, entertainment districts, transit hubs, and businesses.
There are approximately two-dozen employees at the Methuen location, performing jobs that were previously conducted by a third party outside of the U.S. until Bigbelly insourced its U.
S. manufacturing operation to the Merrimack Valley in 2023. “We’re excited to bring local, innovative employment opportunities to the Merrimack Valley,” said Jeff Satwicz, Bigbelly’s founder and VP of business development.
“Mass. workers are engaged, productive and deliver a cost-competitive product to better our world.” Bigbelly Methuen is located on the Lawrence line in the former Malden Mills complex.
The building, now owned by IndusPad, sits on.
