NIGP 10007: Containers, Recycling

NIGP 10007 Containers, Recycling is an Item code covering waste and recycling container supply, collection services, and related disposal or processing—spanning trash hauling from portable carts to 40-cubic-yard roll-off units, specialized recycling containers for paper, e-waste, and metals, and integrated collection-to-disposal service contracts. State and local governments are actively procuring both standalone container inventory and full-service collection arrangements under this code, often bundling container rental, pickup frequency, equipment replacement, and waste-transport logistics into single contracts.

Issuing bodies span multiple jurisdictions: city transportation and police departments (Wichita), county solid waste management and environmental services (Clay County, Marion County, Ventura County, Clayton County), school districts (Fulton County Schools), housing authorities (Pinal County Housing Authority), state agencies (Oregon Department of Administrative Services), regional authorities (Wichita Transit Authority as embedded operator), and multi-jurisdictional entities (H-GAC cooperative purchasing consortium in Texas, Port Authority of New York and New Jersey). Recent competitive activity appears concentrated in mid-sized Florida counties and Texas municipalities, with scattered activity across Georgia, California, Arizona, Kansas, Wisconsin, and Oregon. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Wichita's RFB 260146 for trash and recycling container supply and collection across transit, police, and library facilities (due October 23, 2026), Marion County, Florida's ITB 26B-119 for heavy-duty waste containers and roll-off units (due August 20, 2026), Clay County, Florida's RFB 2526110 for grapple and roll-off container services supporting solid waste facilities (due September 3, 2026), Fulton County Schools' IFB 189-26 for refuse and recycling collection at approximately 109 school locations (due May 29, 2026), and Sacramento County's RFB 2026-RFB-0088 for paper collection and recycling services offered through the Sacramento County Procurement Alliance (SCoPA) cooperative vehicle (due August 31, 2026). Contracts typically run one to three years with optional renewal terms; local-vendor preferences and emerging preferences for minority or women-owned business participation appear in several jurisdictions. Insurance and bonding requirements—commonly $1 million general liability per occurrence and five-percent bid bonds—are standard across high-value service contracts.
