DC Waste & Recycling Inc.

DC Waste & Recycling Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Hillsboro, Illinois, provides solid waste collection, removal, and disposal services to federal agencies exclusively as a prime contractor on delivery orders and indefinite-delivery contracts, with no subcontract activity. The company operates as a for-profit Subchapter S corporation and competes across both set-aside (total small business) and full-and-open vehicles.

Customer concentration is extreme. The top three funding agencies account for 100% of recent awards by count and value. The Department of Justice's Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Institution Greenville dominates the footprint at 91 awards worth $2 million in combined potential value, driven by recurring monthly and quarterly solid waste removal delivery orders under a single-award indefinite-delivery contract (DJBP040700000090) valued at $706,294 running through February 2027. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers ranks second across four awards worth $3.1 million combined potential value, anchored by two large indefinite-delivery contracts: a $2.5 million single-award IDV for refuse collection at Lake Shelbyville (Jan 31, 2024, through Oct 31, 2029, total small business set-aside) and a $528,914.50 single-award IDV for refuse collection at Carlyle Lake (Feb 29, 2024, through Mar 24, 2029, no set-aside). The Defense Logistics Agency's ENDIST St. Louis placement rounds out the customer set with five awards worth $532 thousand for refuse services at Carlyle Lake and Lake Shelbyville recreation areas.

Recent representative work includes a $59,296 total small business set-aside delivery order from the Bureau of Prisons (Oct 1, 2026, ultimate completion Feb 28, 2027) for trash removal at Federal Correctional Institution Greenville; a $114,977.50 delivery order from the Army Corps of Engineers (Mar 25, 2026, ultimate completion Mar 24, 2027) for dumpster and roll-off container collection one to seven times weekly at Carlyle Lake supporting 1,200 to 1,800 cubic yards annual refuse volume; and a $112,167.50 total small business set-aside delivery order from ENDIST St. Louis (Jan 1, 2026, ultimate completion Dec 31, 2026) for solid waste management at Lake Shelbyville, servicing 111 dumpsters across 10 recreation areas.

Award activity has declined. The vendor received 12 awards in 2022, 14 in 2023, 11 in 2024, 5 in 2025, and 4 through October 2026, reflecting the shift from monthly purchase orders to quarterly delivery orders under the larger IDVs. Three awards with combined potential value of $286 thousand face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and present recompete risk. The vendor's federal contracting history extends to at least 2017; SAM registration began September 2016. All 100 awards are primes; no sub-award footprint is present in the source. NAICS concentration is total: 100 awards under Solid Waste Collection (562111), with 91 awards carrying PSC J001 (housekeeping—trash and garbage collection) and 9 carrying J002 (housekeeping—waste treatment and storage). Work is performed exclusively across Greenville, Carlyle, and Lake Shelbyville, Illinois.
