UNSPSC 76122308: Recycling of wood

UNSPSC 76122308 Recycling of wood, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity the source documents. The code nominally covers wood recycling, yet the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for wood recycling services. Instead, state and local governments are actively procuring tire recycling, materials recovery facility operations, battery recycling, document destruction, e-waste processing, hazardous waste handling, and general solid waste and recycling collection—none of which fall under the wood-recycling scope. The mismatch suggests the code sees little current relevant market activity, or the opportunities are being tagged with an incorrect UNSPSC classification in procurement databases.

The recent opportunities that do post under this code or adjacent recycling categories span a geographically and organizationally diverse buyer base: counties (Dorchester, South Carolina; Orange and Seminole, Florida; Marion and DeKalb, Georgia; Pinal and Pasco, Florida; Rankin, Mississippi; Waukesha, Wisconsin), cities (Phoenix, Albuquerque, Atlanta, Cincinnati, San Marcos, Edinburg, Newark, Tucson, Savannah), school districts (Sarasota County and Northside Independent), transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority), state departments (Michigan, Oregon, Texas A&M), and special-purpose authorities (Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County). Representative current solicitations include Dorchester County's RFP for used tire collection and recycling (due September 24, 2026), Orange County, Florida's RFP for recovered materials processing facility operations (due October 22, 2026, processing 81,000 tons annually), and the State of Michigan's statewide RFP for rubbish removal and recycling services across 83 counties (due October 12, 2026). Geographic spread encompasses Florida, South Carolina, Georgia, Michigan, Oregon, Texas, California, Arizona, and several other states, with no single jurisdiction dominating. The procurement volume and diversity signal sustained state and local demand for waste-handling and recycling services broadly, though wood recycling specifically remains absent from posted activity.
