SCOPE OF WORK - HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE AND DEPARTMENT WASTE DISPOSAL Page 1 of 18

SECTION I – HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE EVENTS

Item #1

Beginning with this contract, the County is planning to have six (6) hazardous waste events in 2027, dependent upon State funding and other factors.

Each event will consist of the contractor accepting household hazardous waste (HHW) for a period of six (6) hours. Participants for each event will be pre-registered and assigned hour-long windows in which to drop off their waste. These windows will be limited to one hundred (100) vehicles per hour or six hundred (600) per event. The program is for residential households and farmers only. No commercial vehicles or companies shall be allowed to use these events.

Because of the mobile nature of the program, the vendor must have the ability to conduct the program as required. The vendor will set up, unload and accept, collect, transport, and dispose of the HHW delivered during each event and all the activities of an event shall occur the same day. The vendor will also collect and dispose of all plastic packs, plastic buckets and containers delivered to an event. The Ocean County Landfill, which is privately owned, typically will not accept paint cans or plastic buckets. The vendor is responsible for recycling all corrugated boxes.

Scheduled events are conducted rain or shine. Events are typically scheduled on Saturdays or Sundays. The

County also reserves the right to reduce or increase the number of events at its discretion. Locations and dates of the events are to be determined.

Vendor should make every effort to service all vehicles that arrive within event timeframe, including those remaining on line at the end of the six (6) hour window. No vehicles will be allowed to join the line after the event’s conclusion.
