UNSPSC 47131611: Trash picker

UNSPSC 47131611 Trash picker, a Commodity code, covers handheld and mechanical devices for collecting litter and debris from outdoor areas, grounds maintenance, and waterway treatment systems. State and local governments procure trash pickers as standalone tools and as components of integrated stormwater treatment equipment, grounds maintenance services, and litter collection operations at conservation areas, parks, schools, and municipalities. The code sees activity across state departments of conservation, county and city public works offices, school districts, and special-purpose conservation districts. Missouri's Department of Conservation dominates recent solicitation volume, issuing multiple Invitations for Bid for grounds maintenance at conservation areas that bundle mowing, trash pickup, and privy cleaning services. Orange County, California's Public Works department has issued a broader RFP for trash and debris capture devices—hydrodynamic separators, gross solids removal devices, catch basin inserts, automatic retractable screens, and cartridge filter-type controls—designed to improve stormwater water quality through advanced capture and treatment.

Recent activity concentrates in Missouri and California. The Missouri Department of Conservation has posted at least fourteen IFBs since February 2026 for conservation area maintenance at named sites including Bismarck Lake, Perry County Community Lake, Lake Girardeau, Apple Creek, Amidon Memorial, Millstream Gardens, Mark Youngdahl, Little Compton, and Sterling Price, all seeking bi-weekly or weekly trash pickup as part of integrated grounds maintenance packages with response dates ranging from February through June 2026. Orange County Public Works (California) issued RFP No. 080-2736403-WH on January 22, 2025, with a March 6, 2025 deadline, soliciting a master agreement panel of contractors for trash and debris capture devices with a five-year term and local small business and DVBE set-asides. Collier County, Florida posted a single-source notice on June 26, 2026 for a Sand Man TT beach sand sifting/cleaner machine. School districts and municipal parks departments have not recently solicited under this code in the dataset, though custodial supply RFPs from Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) and Muscogee County School District (Georgia) address cleaning supplies and equipment more broadly.
