About this opportunity
The Vermont Department of Buildings and General Services, Office of Purchasing and Contracting is seeking proposals for a statewide trash, recycling, and composting services contract through RFP 689213c8ec464ecb930fc1f4. The procurement targets comprehensive waste management services for state agencies and departments, specifically requiring trash removal, recycling services, and food scrap collection across Rutland County and Montpelier City. Vendors must comply with Vermont's Universal Recycling Law (Act 148), which mandates collection of recyclables by July 1, 2015, and food scrap collection for non-residential customers and apartment complexes with four or more units by July 1, 2020. Proposers can bid on one or multiple locations and may sub-contract services to ensure complete collection across three material streams. Key deliverables include providing collection services for trash, recyclables, food scraps, and leaf and yard debris, with compliance to state disposal regulations. The proposal is due on August 27, 2025, with the initial posting made on August 4, 2025, and vendors must demonstrate capability to handle waste streams in alignment with Vermont's stringent environmental regulations.
The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types, though vendors must demonstrate technical capability and regulatory compliance. The contract appears open to waste management companies, hauling services, and potentially collaborative partnerships that can meet comprehensive service requirements. While no specific budget range is provided, the statewide scope suggests a potentially significant contract value. Vendors must be prepared to offer collection services for all mandated material streams, including a ban on food scrap disposal in landfills effective July 1, 2020. The state is also seeking information about licensed landfills and transfer stations where bulk solid waste and recycling can be delivered. Proposers must show flexibility in service delivery, potentially through direct service provision or strategic sub-contracting to ensure complete waste management coverage across targeted jurisdictions.

Trash removal and recycling services will be ordered by the agency as required. Under the Universal Recycling Law (ACT 148), all haulers must provide for collection of recyclables effective July 1, 2015 and by July 1, 2020 haulers must offer collection of food scraps to nonresidential customers and apartment buildings with four or more residential units unless another hauler will provide that service. In addition, in order to be in compliance with the disposal ban on leaf and yard debris effective July 1, 2016, the State requests collection of leaf and yard debris on an "as needed" basis. A vendor may bid on one or more locations in which they can provide all rubbish and recycling services and food scrap collection as indicated, or sub-contract out one or more services in order to ensure collection is provided for all three material streams. As of July 1, 2020, Vermont state law bans disposal of all food scraps in the trash or landfills (including any trash that is transported to an out of state landfill or incinerator. Trash haulers must offer food scrap collection services, unless another hauler is willing to provide that service (for them).
