UNSPSC 11141602: Plastic waste or scrap

UNSPSC 11141602 Plastic waste or scrap, a Commodity code, encompasses state and local procurement of waste removal, disposal, and management services, including collection of plastic scrap and commingled waste streams from public facilities, commercial districts, and specialized waste types such as biohazard materials, tires, and construction debris. State and local governments are soliciting these services through counties, cities, special districts, and environmental agencies, often bundling waste handling with disposal-site operations and recovery or recycling requirements. The work spans routine collection services with specified response times and frequency, processing for material recovery, and final disposal or beneficial reuse compliant with EPA and state environmental regulations.
