NIGP 10056: Recycled Containers, All Types

NIGP 10056 Recycled Containers, All Types is an Item code representing steel and heavy-duty waste containers, roll-off receptacles, recycling bins, and related container equipment that state and local governments procure for solid waste operations, environmental services, and public drop-off facilities. Recent solicitations show municipalities and county authorities buying open-top roll-off containers in 20-, 30-, and 40-cubic-yard capacities; compactor receiver boxes; recycling containers with protective covers or doors; steel trash can receptacles; and optional rolling lid systems, typically with specifications for heavy-duty structural steel construction, rust-inhibiting finishes, safety features, and delivery to county or municipal solid waste facilities. Issuing bodies include county solid waste departments, city procurement offices, and special-purpose environmental authorities—Dallas County, Orange County Transportation Authority, Clay County Board of County Commissioners, Marion County Solid Waste, and cities including Augusta, Savannah, and Prairie du Chien. A parallel procurement stream covers container services rather than container supply: removal and recycling/disposal of universal waste (batteries, fluorescent tubes, electronic waste, and mercury-containing equipment) and grapple/roll-off container pickup and transportation services.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and covers both capital equipment procurement and ongoing service contracts. The City of Augusta issued ITB 27-105 for roll-off recycling and storage containers due September 22, 2026, with a one-year term and four renewal options and local-bidder preference rules applied to projects of $100,000 or less. Marion County, Florida issued ITB 26B-119 for heavy-duty waste containers (40-cubic-yard compactor receivers, 20–40-cubic-yard open-top roll-off units, and 30-cubic-yard recycling containers with optional rolling lids) due August 20, 2026, FOB Destination Ocala with no cost escalation permitted. Clay County Board of County Commissioners in Florida issued an RFB for grapple and roll-off container services supporting four Environmental Convenience Centers due September 3, 2026, with a mandatory pre-bid meeting August 21, 2026, a three-year initial term from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2029, and a requirement for contractors to self-perform at least 40 percent of work. Orange County Transportation Authority solicited quotes for removal and recycling/disposal of universal waste (six waste categories including rechargeable and alkaline batteries, fluorescent tubes, mercury equipment, ballasts, electronic waste, and LED lamps) due July 21, 2026 under a three-year time-and-expense contract with $65,100 total budget ($27,100 annually). The City of Savannah issued an RFP for drop-off glass recycling services (collection, transportation, and processing) due September 15, 2026 with a Microsoft Teams vendor meeting scheduled August 18, 2026.
