NIGP 45069: Rubber, Scrap or Waste

NIGP 45069 Rubber, Scrap or Waste is an Item code that covers collection, transportation, processing, and disposal of discarded rubber and tire waste streams generated by state and local agencies, schools, and transit authorities. State and local procurement under this code focuses on ongoing removal and proper disposal of waste tires, scrap rubber, and related contaminated materials—not product sales of rubber stock. Recent solicitations show demand for as-needed waste tire pickup and disposal from maintenance yards and transfer stations, multi-provider biohazard and hazardous waste removal services that include rubber and contaminated materials, and tire management from institutional collection points. Issuing bodies include county environmental and transportation departments, school districts, county zoos, and state transportation agencies. The scope typically requires vendors to hold environmental permits (EPA or state hazardous waste transporter registration, used tire transporter licensing, California Contractors State License Board Hazardous Substance Removal certification where applicable), provide lockable containers or dumpsters, comply with Title 35 Illinois Administrative Code or equivalent state disposal regulations, respond within defined timeframes (48 hours for standard requests, two hours for emergencies in some contracts), maintain comprehensive liability insurance, and furnish certificates of recycling or disposal documenting end-use facilities.

Recent activity spans multiple regions with particular concentration in the South and Midwest.
