Participants received an engaging overview of Bigbelly’s growth, tracing the company’s product evolution and the strategic decisions that ultimately established its base in Massachusetts. The presentation was followed by a guided tour of the factory floor, where guests observed the bin production process, from customization and assembly to inspection and final packing for shipment.

We had a fantastic time touring the updated Material Recovery Facility at E.L. Harvey & Sons in Westborough!

A huge thank you to the Harvey team for their hospitality and for giving us an inside look at how recyclables are sorted, processed, and prepared for end markets. Facilities like this play a critical role in helping communities increase recycling rates and reduce disposal.

From advanced sorting technology to the sheer scale of operations, it’s always inspiring to see the system in action and the people behind it making it all happen.
