NIGP 04564: Recycled Appliances and Accessories

NIGP 04564 Recycled Appliances and Accessories is an Item code covering the collection, transportation, processing, and resale of end-of-life appliances and related recyclable materials from county waste management facilities and landfills. State and local governments soliciting under this code are acquiring vendor services to remove and market scrap metals, discarded household appliances (refrigerators, freezers, stoves, water heaters, washers, dryers, air conditioners, microwaves, dishwashers), electronics (computers, monitors, televisions), and lead-acid batteries from their waste operations. County waste departments and solid-waste authorities dominate this code, with Sacramento County Department of Waste Management and Recycling and Escambia County Department of Waste Services appearing repeatedly in recent solicitations. The work typically involves vendor-supplied roll-off containers or trailers, on-call or scheduled pickup and transport to vendor facilities, weight verification at county scale houses, monthly reporting and reconciliation, and pricing structured as a percentage of commodity market indices for metals or per-pound rates for electronics and batteries. Contractors must hold hazardous-waste transportation permits, comprehensive insurance, and in some cases prevailing-wage compliance.

Recent activity concentrates in California and Florida. Sacramento County's Metals Collection and Recycling solicitation (2026GEN0053, RFQ, due June 9, 2026) sought vendors to remove mixed metals and unprocessed appliances—projected at 10,800 tons in 2024 and 11,775 tons in 2025—from Kiefer Landfill and North Area Recovery Station, with pricing tied to American Metal Market scrap-iron indices and a one-year initial term with four optional renewals. Escambia County Department of Waste Services issued two sequential ITBs for recycled-goods purchase (PD2526102, due August 6, 2026, with mandatory pre-bid July 30, 2026; PD2526104, re-solicit, due August 24, 2026) covering scrap metals, end-of-life appliances, and batteries from Perdido Landfill, with thirty-six-month terms and two optional twelve-month renewals. Marion County Solid Waste in Florida issued a separate bid (26120, due August 20, 2026) for stationary garbage-compactor equipment rather than collection services, indicating diversified procurement within the appliance-recycling space.
