UNSPSC 76121507: Post event refuse collection and clean up service

Collection of public litter and associated cleaning services for indoor or outdoor venues after major sporting or cultural events.

UNSPSC 76121507 Post event refuse collection and clean up service is a Commodity code that spans refuse hauling, disposal, and site-cleanup work state and local governments buy after special events, festivals, emergencies, and disaster responses. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing container rental and disposal (roll-off dumpsters and trash bins), litter removal and bagging from public spaces, vegetative debris processing and mulching, yard waste collection and processing, and comprehensive cleanup following flooding or other incidents. The work ranges from routine municipal solid waste collection to emergency debris removal and hazardous-material cleanup. Issuing bodies include state transportation and park departments, county environmental services and public works divisions, city environmental and public services departments, transit authorities, water authorities, and health and human services agencies. The Texas General Land Office, Texas Department of Transportation, Georgia Department of Administrative Services, City of Richardson Texas, County of Orange California, City of Tucson, City of Wichita, Chatham County Georgia, and Seminole County Florida appear among repeat buyers in recent notices. The code sees active procurement across Texas, Florida, Georgia, Arizona, California, and Kansas, with Texas Department of Transportation and Texas park and environmental agencies generating substantial volume. The City of Richardson (ITB 03-27, responses due November 5, 2026) is soliciting litter removal for 64 parks and athletic sites covering 31.6 million square feet at an estimated annual budget of approximately $285,000, with service frequencies from three to seven days weekly and strict quality standards (no more than four pieces larger than 2 inches per 1,000 square feet); the Texas General Land Office (IFB 601320000071510, responses due October 16, 2026) is requesting roll-off trash container rental and disposal across multiple Texas locations using 30-cubic-yard containers with unit pricing for delivery, monthly rental, pickup, and weight-exceeding surcharges. The City of Tucson Environmental Services Department (RFP 270177, responses due October 30, 2026) is soliciting rapid-response cleanup for illegal dumping, homeless encampment refuse removal, and roadside litter abatement with two-business-day completion requirements, Davis-Bacon prevailing wage compliance, and DBE participation goals. County of Orange (RFP-017-2988904-JC, responses due October 27, 2026) is seeking countywide janitorial services with mandatory seven-site job walks, covering routine and emergency interior/exterior cleaning, trash removal, and high-touch-surface disinfecting at multiple facilities including detention facilities, with a five-year initial term, prevailing wage compliance under California Labor Code, and Displaced Janitor Opportunity Act protections.

Solid waste hauling, emergency debris removal, and post-event cleanup represent steady procurement activity across the code. Recent opportunities show municipal and county environmental services departments managing routine residential and commercial collection alongside emergency response contracts. Performance bonding, comprehensive insurance (typically $1–2 million general liability), workers' compensation, and experience requirements (often three to five years on similar work) are standard. Many solicitations include prevailing wage compliance when federal funding applies; some require E-Verify enrollment, background checks for detention-facility work, and GPS tracking on vehicles. Pricing structures range from lump-sum fixed fees for one-time debris removal to monthly unit rates and hourly dispatch-based compensation for emergency services. Contract terms typically run one to five years with optional annual renewals. This code shows sustained activity suitable for firms with disposal capacity, fleet management systems, reliable dispatch capability, and compliance infrastructure for wage and environmental regulations.
