UNSPSC 76122400: Refuse disposal and treatment fees

UNSPSC 76122400 Refuse disposal and treatment fees is a Class code covering the disposal, hauling, and treatment services for waste streams generated by municipal operations, school districts, and public authorities. State and local governments procure under this code for catch basin cleaning and sediment removal, liquid sludge and biosolids hauling, street sweeping debris transport, oil-water separator cleaning, and comprehensive trash and recyclables collection and disposal at municipal and school facilities. The issuing bodies are predominantly municipalities and towns (Billerica, Franklin, Norwalk, Simsbury, Amherst in Massachusetts and Connecticut; Lowell Housing Authority), school districts (New Canaan Public Schools), state park systems (Utah Division of State Parks), and regional councils of governments (Capitol Region Council of Governments in Connecticut). Work is typically solicited through ITBs, RFPs, and RFQs with response windows of two to three weeks; recent examples include the Town of Billerica's catch basin cleaning IFB (due June 25, 2026), the City of Norwalk DPW's street sweeping and excavated material transport RFP (due June 18, 2026), and the Town of New Canaan Public Schools' trash and single-stream recyclables collection RFP with mandatory site walk-through on May 27, 2026 (proposals due June 8, 2026).

Recent activity clusters in New England—Massachusetts and Connecticut dominate the posted opportunities—with additional activity from Utah (Great Salt Lake State Park garbage removal, due March 31, 2026) and scattered municipal procurement in other states. Massachusetts has posted multiple solicitations including liquid sludge hauling (Town of Amherst, due June 17, 2026), trash compactor replacement (Lowell Housing Authority, due March 19, 2026), and FY26 street sweeping (Commonwealth of Massachusetts, due March 25, 2026). Connecticut school districts and municipalities have been active buyers: New Canaan Public Schools' comprehensive collection and disposal RFP, Simsbury's municipal solid waste and recycling ITB (due May 28, 2026), and Franklin's oil-water separator cleaning RFQ (due July 1, 2026). Most opportunities are open to all qualified vendors without stated set-asides or restrictions; payment terms are typically vendor-specified with FOB Destination delivery. No estimated contract values are disclosed in the posted notices, and contract terms range from one to five years with potential renewals in multi-year agreements.
