UNSPSC 76122407: Refuse transportation fee

Fees charged for the transport of refuse

UNSPSC 76122407 Refuse transportation fee is a Commodity code covering the hauling and disposal of municipal waste streams, including leaves, bulky refuse, and recyclables. State and local governments use this code to procure one-off or seasonal waste-removal services from private contractors. Work ranges from hauling stockpiled seasonal materials like leaves collected through municipal curbside programs to ongoing refuse and recycling collection at multi-family residential and commercial properties. Issuing bodies include municipal governments (town administrations and public works departments) and local housing authorities. Contractors typically quote per-cubic-yard or per-haul rates and must maintain substantial liability insurance, comply with affirmative action and employment verification requirements, and deliver material to licensed disposal facilities.

Recent activity spans Connecticut and Mississippi. The Town of Vernon, Connecticut posted an RFP on September 3, 2026 (response due September 29, 2026) seeking hauling and disposal of stockpiled leaves collected from curbside programs and deposited at three town bin sites during the October–December 2026 season, with a one-year renewal option; the Town required comprehensive insurance ($1 million general liability, $1 million auto liability, $1 million umbrella), four municipal references, and sealed proposals with 5% bid security. The Housing Authority of the City of Middletown, Connecticut issued a Small Purchase Solicitation on May 29, 2026 (response due July 2, 2026) for refuse, recycling, and bulky waste removal services at low-rise apartments, high-rise apartments, and commercial properties on an as-needed basis. A Mississippi Department of Human Services posting in August 2026 tagged this code but solicited a Procurement Officer II contract position and is not representative of the code's scope.
