NIGP 08528: Bags, Hazardous Material

NIGP 08528 Bags, Hazardous Material is an Item code covering the collection, transportation, and disposal of hazardous waste generated from residential drop-off programs, household collection events, and municipal maintenance operations. State and local governments procure these services on an as-needed basis, contracting with specialized vendors to manage materials including flammables, corrosives, oxidizers, pesticides, batteries, mercury, and lithium batteries. The work encompasses pickup at designated collection facilities, transport to approved disposal sites, and container management across multiple waste categories and container types (55-gallon drums, 30-gallon drums, 5-gallon containers, and cubic yard boxes). County waste management departments are the primary issuing bodies under this code, sourcing services to support community hazardous-waste collection programs that typically generate 2 to 6 collection events annually depending on residential participation.
