UNSPSC 76121505: Inorganic waste collection and disposal

Collection and disposal of waste composed of material other than plant or animal matter

UNSPSC 76121505 Inorganic waste collection and disposal, a Commodity code, encompasses the hauling, transport, and final disposal of solid waste streams across municipal facilities, correctional institutions, state parks, universities, county landfills, and airport operations. State and local governments procure this service through a steady volume of routine RFQs and IFBs targeting ongoing waste management at fixed locations—front-load container rental and disposal, roll-off dumpster services, compactor rental with pickup cycles, and specialized waste streams including construction debris, electronics, vegetative waste, and wet well materials. The issuing-body mix spans state departments (Texas Department of Transportation, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county governments (Pasco County, Florida; Polk County, Florida; Ware County, Georgia; Clayton County Water Authority), cities (Waco, Sarasota, St. Petersburg, Philadelphia, Huntsville, Atlanta, Conyers), and special-purpose districts (Port Authority of New York and New Jersey). Texas dominates recent activity, with TxDOT posting multiple maintenance-facility roll-off rentals (Comanche, Columbus, Houston, Edna, Wharton, Jasper, Saginaw, Longview, Lincoln, and Euless locations), TDCJ placing several blanket-purchase-order solicitations for prison waste management (Bridgeport, Terrell Canning Plant, B. Moore, Garza East, Dalby, LeBlanc, Lindsey), and Texas A&M and the University of Texas Health Science Center each seeking decommissioning or facility waste services.

Representative recent opportunities include the City of Waco's RFB 2026-029 for FM 1637 right-of-way mowing and RFB 2026-030 for MKT Corridor mowing and trash pickup (both posted July 17, 2026, with August response dates), the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's IFB for refuse and trash collection at Cedar Hill State Park and Bonham State Park (posted July 14 and July 8, 2026, with responses due late July), TxDOT's multiple roll-off and trash-removal IFBs across district maintenance facilities (posted through late June, with response windows of one to three weeks), TDCJ's blanket-purchase orders for compactor and roll-off rental at correctional facilities (posted mid-June, most with June or early July closures), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's invitation for sealed bids for waste disposal services at Kerrville State Hospital and Texas Center for Infectious Disease (posted July 1 and June 30, 2026). Georgia opportunities include the City of Atlanta's pre-advertisement for environmental remediation with contaminated-soil excavation and off-site disposal ($2.23 million estimated value, July 2, 2026) and emergency on-call debris removal services (July 2, 2026), plus Ware County's RFP for garbage collection and disposal (August 4, 2026 response), and Augusta's RFP26-196 for solid waste front-load services (five-year term, July 27, 2026 due date). Connecticut, Florida, New York, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin account for lower-frequency but comparable activity (Manchester landfill C&D waste procurement, Polk County mulching and disposal, Sarasota solid waste hauling, Port Authority JFK refuse and recycling, Philadelphia micro-purchase dumpster service, Prairie du Chien residential waste collection). Contract terms typically span one to three years with optional renewal periods; pricing is usually per-unit (monthly, per ton, per pickup), and insurance requirements routinely include general liability of $500,000 to $2 million per occurrence and workers' compensation at statutory limits.
