Needham, MA-based BigBelly Solar, a maker of solar-powered, trash-compacting public waste bins that we profiled in December, has raised $3.2 million in additional funding from undisclosed investors, according to documents filed this week with the Securities and Exchange Commission. BigBelly, formerly known as Seahorse Power, had previously raised at least $1.1 million, according to a 2005 report in Mass High Tech.
