UNSPSC 76121600: Nonhazardous waste disposal

UNSPSC 76121600 Nonhazardous waste disposal is a Class code encompassing the collection, hauling, processing, and disposal of residential and commercial solid waste, yard debris, construction waste, and related refuse streams. State and local governments procure this code for routine municipal sanitation operations, emergency cleanup following disasters or illegal dumping, specialized processing such as yard waste mulching and composting, and disposal services at landfills and transfer stations. Recent activity reflects a mix of recurring municipal contracts, one-time or emergency debris removal, and facility-specific hauling—spanning cities, counties, state departments, transit authorities, and special-purpose districts across multiple states.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipal governments (cities of Albuquerque, Atlanta, Benson, Fort Worth, Huntsville, Richardson, San Antonio, San Marcos, Stamford, and Tucson), county governments (Brevard, Chatham, Glynn, Marion, Orange, Randolph, Seminole, and Walton Counties), state transportation and administrative agencies (Texas General Land Office, Texas Department of Transportation, California Caltrans, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Utah Department of Transportation), transit and utilities authorities (Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, Orlando Utilities Commission, Mississippi State Port Authority, and Wichita Transit Authority), towns (Glastonbury CT, Tyrone GA, and Vernon CT), school districts (Marion County Schools), and special districts (Salt Lake City, Seminole County). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas, California, and Florida, with recent opportunities also active in Arizona, Connecticut, Georgia, New York, Utah, and other states. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas General Land Office's IFB for roll-off trash container rental and disposal across multiple Texas locations (bids due October 16, 2026), the City of Richardson's ITB for outdoor litter removal across 64 parks and public sites with an estimated annual budget of approximately $285,000 (bids due November 5, 2026), the County of Orange's RFP for countywide janitorial and waste services with a five-year term and prevailing wage compliance (proposals due October 27, 2026), and the Town of Glastonbury's RFP for municipal solid waste and recycling processing and disposal (proposals due October 28, 2026). Caltrans issued multiple IFBs for scheduled and on-call trash hauling at maintenance stations in Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Ventura, and Mono Counties, with small-business and disabled-veteran enterprise set-asides applying to several awards. City and county residential waste contracts predominate, with pricing structured on monthly per-unit rates, per-ton fees, lump-sum services, or hourly rates depending on the scope. Contract terms typically run one to five years with renewal options, and most require comprehensive liability insurance, workers' compensation, and equipment or operational specifications tied to local service demands and environmental or health standards.
