This is a historical data attachment supporting Orange County, Florida's Recovered Materials Processing Services contract opportunity (Y26-1014). The document presents ten years of recycling load data collected by County Haulers from calendar year 2016 through May 2026, detailing the quantities and quality metrics of recyclable materials processed. The data reveals significant operational changes, particularly the implementation of a Recycling Quality Improvement Program in 2019 and a shift in contamination allowance rates from 15 percent to 30 percent beginning in 2021. The table tracks rejected loads, accepted loads, total tonnage, and roll-off quantities, with accepted tons ranging from approximately 8,752 tons in 2017 to 56,830 tons in 2025. Monthly data for 2026 through May demonstrates relatively consistent performance with low rejection rates between 1 and 5 percent and accepted tonnage averaging approximately 4,500 to 4,700 tons per month.

The data indicates a marked improvement in material quality and processing efficiency in recent years, with 2025 showing only 550 rejected loads out of 14,197 total loads and an acceptance rate of 96 percent by tonnage. The 30 percent allowable contamination rate implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic period has remained in effect through the current contract period, suggesting an adjustment to operational realities. Roll-off tonnage from County drop-off locations has increased substantially from near-zero in earlier years to approximately 28 to 92 tons monthly in 2026. This historical performance data establishes baseline expectations for the incoming contractor and demonstrates the volume and quality standards required for the recovered materials processing services contract, with sealed responses due by 4:00 p.m. EST on Thursday, October 1, 2026, submitted electronically through the OpenGov e-Procurement Platform.
