UNSPSC 76122004: Landfill for low risk hazardous or universal waste

Universal Wastes are wastes that meet the regulatory definition of hazardous waste, but are managed under special, tailored regulations. These wastes include batteries, pesticides, lamps and fluorescent bulbs, mercury-containing equipment and thermostats

UNSPSC 76122004 Landfill for low risk hazardous or universal waste (Commodity) covers disposal of low-risk hazardous materials, universal waste, and related solid waste streams at permitted landfill facilities. State and local governments are buying landfill disposal services, landfill construction and closure work, leachate and gas system installation and maintenance, biosolids and dewatered solids disposal, construction and demolition waste disposal, and vegetative waste processing and disposal under this code. Recent solicitations reflect a market dominated by municipal departments of solid waste management, counties, regional authorities, and environmental services agencies managing Class I, II, III, and IV landfills across multiple waste streams.

The issuing bodies include county solid waste departments (Polk County Florida, Clackamas County Oregon, Orange County Florida, Brevard County Florida, Volusia County Florida, Greenville County South Carolina, Escambia County Florida, Harris County Texas, Pinal County Arizona), environmental services authorities (Maryland Environmental Service, Dalton-Whitfield Solid Waste Authority Georgia, Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County, Pine Belt Regional Solid Waste Management Authority Mississippi), municipal departments (City of Dallas, City of Phoenix, City of Salem Oregon, City of Brownsville Texas), and specialized water and wastewater entities. Recent major opportunities span Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Texas, California, Oregon, Maryland, Arizona, and Connecticut.
