UNSPSC 76122311: Recycling of glass

UNSPSC 76122311 Recycling of glass is a Commodity code that names a specific product-service line, but the recent opportunities in the state and local marketplace show this code capturing a much broader sweep of solid waste and recycling services — material recovery facilities, battery recycling, universal waste handling, tire recycling, composting, document destruction, and metal recovery processing — alongside the narrower glass-specific work the code nominally describes. State and local governments are using this taxonomy entry to tag integrated recycling and waste-diversion contracts that span multiple material streams and processing stages, not glass recovery alone. The issuing-body mix is diverse: county governments (Dorchester County South Carolina, Orange County Florida, Marion County Oregon, Seminole County Florida, Pinal County Arizona, Waukesha County Wisconsin, Rankin County Mississippi, DeKalb County Georgia), municipal authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority California, City of Phoenix Arizona, City of Cincinnati Ohio, City of Tucson Arizona, City of Albuquerque New Mexico, City of Savannah Georgia, City of Waco Texas, City of Edinburg Texas, City of Alexandria Virginia, City of Newark New Jersey, City of Prairie du Chien Wisconsin), state agencies (State of Oregon, State of Michigan, Texas Department of Transportation, Florida Department of Transportation, Illinois Department of Corrections), school districts (Northside Independent School District Texas, DeKalb County School District Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education Connecticut), transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority California, Orange County Transportation Authority California), a university (Texas A&M University), and special-purpose districts and authorities (Sourcewell Minnesota, Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County Florida). Orange County, Florida and Orange County Transportation Authority California appear as repeat buyers, together with recurring procurement across Florida counties.

Geographic spread spans Florida (Orange County, Seminole County, Pinellas County, Sarasota County, Palm Beach County), California (Orange County Transportation Authority, City of Phoenix Arizona satellite work), Georgia (DeKalb County, City of Savannah, Rankin County Mississippi nearby), Michigan, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Wisconsin, and Minnesota through cooperative purchasing. Representative recent opportunities include Dorchester County, South Carolina RFP 202708 for used tire collection and recycling services (response date September 24, 2026), Orange County, Florida RFP Y26-1014-KK for Materials Recovery Facility operations processing single-stream recyclables (response date October 22, 2026, revised from October 1), the State of Michigan RFP 260000002269 for statewide rubbish removal and recycling services across 83 counties (response date October 12, 2026), and City of Phoenix RFI-27-0467 a Request for Information on lithium ion battery recycling (response date October 15, 2026). The code sees active procurement across the fall 2026 quarter, with response windows concentrated in August through October 2026, indicating sustained state and local demand for contracted waste diversion and materials recovery capacity.
