The contract will be awarded to Clay County Rehabilitation Services, a qualified not-for-profit agency for persons with severe disabilities, to provide these services to state agencies, local government units, and qualified non-profit organizations across 7 Illinois counties.

Services will include monthly pickup and container exchange, secure destruction at the vendor's facility, and certificates of destruction.
