Carpet and Mattress Recycling

The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) FAC90 statewide contract provides comprehensive recycling services for mattresses and other difficult-to-recycle materials across the state. The contract enables eligible entities, including municipalities, counties, public libraries, schools, hospitals, and higher education institutions, to access specialized recycling services. Currently focused on mattress recycling, the vehicle offers processing, transportation, and container rental services with options for various collection methods such as milk run collection, curbside pickup, and one-day collection events. While carpet recycling services are included in the contract's scope, no vendors are currently providing those services.

The contract, valid from July 15, 2024, to July 14, 2026, with potential renewals through July 14, 2028, features four prime contractors: GGY Transport LLC (Tough Stuff Recycling), HandUp US LLC, Raw Material Recovery Corp., and United Teen Equality Center (UTEC). A unique aspect of this vehicle is a companion MassDEP grant program that will directly subsidize mattress recycling costs for municipalities, paying vendors for transportation and processing of source-separated, residentially generated mattresses. Pricing is available through the Master Price File on COMMBUYS.com, with mattress recycling processing rates ranging from $17 to $23 per unit, and additional fees for transportation and container rentals. Vendors offer prompt payment discounts between 1-5% for early payment within 10-30 days.
