Collection and disposal of pesticides

The Ohio Competitive Selection IDV OT900620-1 provides comprehensive hazardous waste disposal services specifically focused on pesticide collection and management. The contract enables state agencies, particularly the Ohio Department of Agriculture, to procure specialized services for the storage, packaging, labeling, transportation, and disposal of hazardous pesticides including herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides. Services are structured with tiered pricing based on waste weight, ranging from $2.00 per pound for smaller quantities to $1.15 per pound for larger waste volumes, with additional flat-rate handling for pressurized or flammable containers.

The contract is awarded to MXI Environmental Services LLC of Abingdon, VA, through the Ohio Department of Administrative Services (DAS), with a current performance period from August 1, 2023, to July 31, 2025. This competitive selection contract covers the entire state of Ohio and aligns with the U.S. EPA's initiative to address pesticide disposal in Great Lakes watersheds. The contract requires the contractor to manage waste collection sites, develop safety protocols, inventory and pack waste, arrange final disposal, and submit detailed reporting. While the current contract will not be renewed beyond its July 31, 2025 expiration, it provides a critical service for safe and environmentally responsible hazardous waste management.
