UNSPSC 72101514: Refuse area construction service

Construction services for refuse area used by mining companies

UNSPSC 72101514 Refuse area construction service is a Commodity-tier code that covers hazardous-materials abatement, site preparation, and remediation work at contaminated or damaged sites—not refuse collection or landfill operations themselves. State and local governments procure demolition and environmental remediation services under this code to address abandoned mines, contaminated structures, subsurface instability, and site restoration before redevelopment or public safety restoration. The issuing bodies are geographically dispersed, spanning state environmental departments, county engineering and utilities authorities, city public works divisions, and special-purpose environmental districts. Recent solicitations show active demand for mine-shaft subsidence remediation, hazardous-materials abatement on building demolition projects, site stabilization and grading work, and landfill cell construction—the latter blending refuse-facility engineering with environmental containment.

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources solicited excavation, stabilization, and remediation of unstable subsurface materials beneath a public roadway caused by an abandoned mine shaft in Braidwood, Illinois (Project AML-2516, IFB due July 21, 2026), requiring stabilization of soil, concrete plugging, pavement restoration, and shaft marking. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Works requested proposals for hazardous-materials abatement and demolition of the 226,800-square-foot Augustus F. Hawkins building at Martin Luther King, Jr. Medical Campus (due August 6, 2026), with scope spanning structural demolition, site stabilization, grading, hydroseeding, and infrastructure protection. Augusta Engineering & Environmental Services Department in Georgia solicited construction of MSW Landfill Phase III, Stage II South Cell 2-Phase 1 at Deans Bridge Road (IFB due August 6, 2026), encompassing liner-system installation, leachate collection, stormwater management, and sediment control. Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Illinois, Texas, California, and Florida, with secondary opportunities in Connecticut, Michigan, and Colorado. The code shows steady procurement across state environmental agencies, county utilities and public-works departments, and city engineering divisions, with project values ranging from under $150,000 for smaller site work to over $6 million for complex remediation and landfill construction.
