NIGP 48567: Litter Pickup Devices

NIGP 48567 Litter Pickup Devices, an Item code, encompasses equipment and services for litter and debris collection across state and local jurisdictions — from hand tools and curb inlet filters to commercial trash and debris capture systems for stormwater treatment. State and local governments procure under this code concrete products such as litter grabber sticks with wooden shafts and steel tips, curb inlet filter baskets and linings, and modular stormwater debris-removal devices; they also contract for litter abatement labor including weekly pickup, maintenance of collection devices, and debris hauling at conservation areas, municipal rights-of-way, and stormwater facilities. Issuing bodies span county school districts, state natural resource and transportation agencies, municipal public works departments, and independent school districts across the country. The mix reflects operational needs: school districts procure custodial equipment and supplies for campus-wide delivery; state departments of conservation and transportation solicit recurring maintenance and litter removal services at managed properties and office facilities; and city and county public works offices procure debris-capture devices and litter-abatement labor to support stormwater quality and streetscape management.
