UNSPSC 76121504: Tire collection and disposal

Collection and disposal of tires

UNSPSC 76121504 Tire collection and disposal, a Commodity code, reflects state and local procurement of waste tire transportation, removal, and recycling services from maintenance facilities, transfer stations, landfills, and collection centers. The market spans county solid waste departments, transportation authorities, state DOTs, school districts, and municipalities, with repeat buyers in Florida (Pasco County, Marion County, Orange County, Pinellas County) and single instances across Georgia, Kentucky, Illinois, California, Missouri, and Connecticut. Work being solicited ranges from routine as-needed tire removal at transfer stations to large-scale artificial-reef decommissioning (3,300 tires in coastal waters off Pinellas County), fleet tire services for transit authorities and school districts, and specialized tire-derived product installation for park resurfacing using post-consumer waste tire mulch. Most solicitations require FDEP or EPA approval of processing facilities, full tire recycling compliance documentation, chain-of-custody procedures, and state licensing; competitive positioning hinges on unit pricing per ton or per load, equipment capacity, insurance (typically $1 million general liability), local presence or preference eligibility, and demonstrated experience with comparable volumes.

Recent opportunities span the full scope of the code. Marion County Solid Waste (Florida) issued ITB 26B-098 for waste tire transportation and disposal on July 9, 2026, with minimum two-vendor award and estimated 1,000 tons annually; Pasco County (Florida) posted IFB IFBKM26097 for as-needed waste tire management from two county collection sites due June 23, 2026, at approximately 1,000 tons annually with local preference provisions; Orange County (Florida) issued Y26-171 for debris removal including tires at unit pricing due May 26, 2026; Kentucky Transportation Cabinet published two waste-tire RFBs covering twelve districts (January 29, 2026, and rescheduled March 6, 2026), totaling 80–112 loads with district-by-district awards; DeKalb County (Georgia) solicited a public-private partnership for scrap tire recycling under RFP 2026-070-RFP due August 26, 2026; Spalding County (Georgia) sought tire-mulch walking track resurfacing using post-consumer waste tire material due March 20, 2026, with a $160,955 Tire-Derived Product Grant; and Pinellas County (Florida) posted RFP 260349RFP for marine salvage removal of 3,300 artificial-reef tires due April 16, 2026. Illinois issued a four-year renewal notice for scrap tire removal (February 13, 2026), and California CALCTRA sought tire repair services at Avenal State Prison (March 25, 2026). Activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia with significant Kentucky and single-state instances across the Midwest and California, reflecting geographic diversity in solid waste and transportation infrastructure.
