UNSPSC 76121501: Garbage collection or destruction or processing or disposal

UNSPSC 76121501 Garbage collection or destruction or processing or disposal (Commodity) encompasses trash removal, collection, hauling, and disposal services that state and local governments procure across diverse operational settings—from municipal street corridors and county waste facilities to correctional institutions, state hospitals, university campuses, and regional transit hubs. Recent solicitations show the code active across cities, counties, state departments, transit authorities, and special-purpose districts soliciting routine waste removal from front-load and roll-off containers, specialized services such as wet well cleaning and construction debris disposal, and emergency debris clearance.

Texas and Florida show the highest concentration of recent activity.
