NIGP 10007: Containers, Recycling

NIGP 10007 Containers, Recycling, an Item code, encompasses the supply, rental, collection, and processing of recycling containers and related waste-stream services that state and local governments use to manage residential, commercial, and municipal recyclables. Recent solicitations show governments procuring everything from fixed receptacles (bins ranging from 4 to 95 gallons) to mobile collection equipment, roll-off containers, and end-to-end recycling transport and processing services. The issuing-body mix reflects diverse municipal procurement: county housing authorities, city public works departments, school districts, transit authorities, and special-purpose districts all solicit under this code. Pinal County Housing Authority in Arizona, Marion County in Florida, Clayton County in Georgia, Fulton County Schools in Georgia, and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey appear as active recent buyers. Geographic activity concentrates in Arizona, Florida, and Georgia, with significant recent procurement in California and New York, plus activity scattered across other states.
