DC Waste & Recycling Inc.

DC Waste & Recycling Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Hillsboro, Illinois, provides refuse collection, solid waste removal, and recycling services to federal agencies as a prime contractor operating 100% under single-award and multiple-award indefinite delivery contracts. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation competing predominantly under total small business set-asides on its underlying IDVs, though individual delivery orders drawn from those vehicles frequently carry no set-aside designation.

DC Waste & Recycling operates three core IDV relationships anchoring its federal footprint. The largest is a $2.5 million single-award contract with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for refuse collection at Lake Shelbyville, Illinois (ultimate completion October 31, 2029), covering dumpster and roll-off container removal across 111 containers at 10 recreation areas on a recurring schedule. A second Army Corps contract valued at $528,914.50 covers refuse removal at Carlyle Lake, Illinois (completion March 24, 2029), with dumpster and roll-off collection services one to seven times weekly supporting an estimated annual refuse volume of 1,200 to 1,800 cubic yards. The third IDV is a $706,294 total small business set-aside contract with the Department of Justice's Bureau of Prisons for solid waste services at Federal Correctional Institution Greenville, Illinois (ultimate completion February 28, 2027), under which DC Waste & Recycling has issued recurring monthly and quarterly delivery orders since March 2023.

Customer concentration is heavily concentrated: the Bureau of Prisons' FCI Greenville facility accounts for 90 awards (91% of award count) valued at $1.9 million combined potential value, while the Army Corps of Engineers accounts for 9 awards ($3.2 million combined potential value across the two Lake Shelbyville and Carlyle Lake contracts). The top three customer organizations cover 100% of recent awards. The divergence between award-count and dollar-value rankings reflects the Army Corps' larger-dollar IDV ceilings offsetting the Bureau of Prisons' higher transactional volume — FCI Greenville issues monthly delivery orders typically ranging from $10,285 to $66,123, while Corps delivery orders run larger.

Recent activity declined from 2022–2023 levels (12–14 awards per year) to 11 awards in 2024, 5 in 2025, and 3 in 2026 year-to-date. Three awards totaling $314 thousand in combined potential value carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months. The company holds no subcontract positions and has not served as a sub-awardee on federal contracts or grants; all 99 recent awards are primes under the three named IDV vehicles. DC Waste & Recycling's scope is tightly focused on solid waste collection (NAICS 562111, PSC J004 / Housekeeping–Trash/Garbage Collection), with 90 awards tagged to garbage collection and 9 to waste treatment/storage across federal correctional and Army Corps of Engineers recreational facilities in Illinois.
