UNSPSC 76122408: State county local waste or recycle fee

Any fee or tax associated with recycling or waste disposal levied by state, county or local entities

UNSPSC 76122408 State county local waste or recycle fee is a Commodity code that encompasses the fees, assessments, and service charges state and local governments pay for waste collection, disposal, and recycling operations at their facilities and for materials generated through their operations. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect procurement for the actual removal, transportation, and processing of waste and recyclable materials—not fee studies or personnel contracting—indicating that the code is being used to tag operational waste-management contracts where agencies incur direct costs for hauling, disposal, and recycling services. The issuing bodies are mixed, spanning municipal public works departments, state transportation agencies, state motor vehicle departments, and county health service operations. The City of Norwalk's Department of Public Works has posted repeat solicitations for transportation and disposal of street sweepings, catch basin grit, excavated materials, and broken structural concrete.

Recent activity concentrates in California and Connecticut, with procurement also visible in Texas and Arizona. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Norwalk, Connecticut issuing an RFP for transportation and disposal of street sweepings, catch basin grit, and excavated materials with a response due June 18, 2026; the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) District 4 issuing an IFB for recycling and composting pickup and hauling services at its Oakland office with bids due March 24, 2026; the California Department of Motor Vehicles issuing an IFB for non-hazardous waste and recyclable material removal services at the Sacramento South Field Office with bids due April 16, 2026 (estimated three-year contract value $38,443); and the City of Frisco, Texas issuing an RFP for commercial recycling collection and processing services with proposals due May 14, 2026 and contract commencement August 1, 2027 for a seven-year initial term. Caltrans also posted an IFB for scrap metal and aluminum removal and recycling services from Santa Barbara County maintenance stations with bids due April 28, 2026, offering a three-year revenue-generating contract where the contractor compensates the agency based on monthly commodity pricing and tonnage collected, with five percent Small Business and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise incentive provisions available.
