UNSPSC 76121601: Garbage dump

UNSPSC 76121601 Garbage dump (Commodity) encompasses waste collection, removal, and disposal services that state and local governments procure at maintenance facilities, public parks, correctional institutions, municipal offices, and special-use properties. Recent activity shows heavy demand for roll-off container rental with collection and disposal, front-load dumpster service, and specialized waste streams including landscaping debris, food waste, and construction waste. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state transportation and corrections departments, county and city governments, park authorities, and utility authorities. Texas Department of Transportation dominates recent posting volume with multiple district-level roll-off container procurement notices, complemented by solicitations from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice at multiple correctional facilities, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department at state parks, Texas Health and Human Services Commission at state hospitals, and city and county governments across multiple states. Representative recent opportunities include TxDOT's solicitation for 40-cubic-yard roll-off trash container rental and disposal at the Columbus Maintenance facility (IFB 601320000070741, due July 10, 2026), the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's bid for weekly trash collection from 45 three-cubic-yard containers at Cedar Hill State Park (IFB 8022779193, due July 28, 2026), the City of Waco's RFB for mowing and trash-related services at the MKT Corridor Area (RFB2026030, due August 10, 2026 with pre-bid meeting July 27, 2026), and the City of Atlanta's environmental remediation solicitation involving excavation and disposal of approximately 5,700 tons of contaminated soil at the Chattahoochee Brick Company site (estimated value $2.23 million, July 31, 2026 questions deadline).

Activity concentrates in Texas, with secondary volume in Florida, Georgia, Connecticut, California, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, New York, and Illinois. Texas accounts for roughly half the recent postings, driven by TxDOT maintenance facility needs, TDCJ correctional facility operations, and municipal waste services across Houston, Austin, Waco, Brownsville, and Conyers. Florida opportunities include Polk County mulching and disposal (ITB 2026-078, due August 13, 2026 at $150,000 annually), Pasco County electronics recycling and de-manufacturing (IFBSV26098, due August 4, 2026), and Sarasota's solid waste hauling to the county landfill (approximately 55,275 tons annually, proposals due July 16, 2026). Georgia opportunities span Augusta front-load waste and recycling collection county-wide (RFP26-196, due July 27, 2026), Ware County residential garbage collection (RFP, due August 4, 2026), and Clayton County Water Authority's wastewater wet well cleaning (proposals due July 16, 2026). Northeast activity includes Manchester, Connecticut's C&D waste disposal at the sanitary landfill (ITB #25/26-63, tonnage priced at $86–$90 per ton, through June 30, 2027), Port Authority of New York and New Jersey's refuse removal and recycling at JFK Airport (QBSP #6000003361, due July 15, 2026), and Philadelphia's 8-yard dumpster service (micro purchase B2727373, due June 28, 2026). Contracts typically run one to three years with optional renewal periods; most solicitations emphasize insurance compliance, proof of prior experience, and disposal at agency-designated licensed facilities. Many state and local bodies require bidders to register on master vendor lists (Texas CMBL, Georgia, Connecticut, etc.) prior to submission.
