Elko Sanitation Company

Elko Sanitation Company, a foreign-owned subsidiary of Waste Connections US, Inc., provides garbage dumpster and container services to federal agencies as a prime contractor on full-and-open purchase orders, with no federal set-asides across its award history. The company is based in Elko, Nevada, and operates under NAICS 562211 (Solid Waste Collection) and PSC Housekeeping—Trash/Garbage Collection, delivering primarily to regional land management and disaster-response customers across the Interior West.

Elko Sanitation's federal footprint is concentrated geographically and by customer. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management accounts for ten of seventeen awards (59%) with combined potential value of $1.2 million across its Idaho and Nevada regions. The remaining seven awards distributed among the Department of Agriculture Forest Service (R4-Intermountain Region), the Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service, together representing 41% of awards and roughly 1% of total potential value. The top-two customers by award count (BLM Idaho and Nevada) are reversed by potential value — BLM Nevada's five awards carry $1 million compared to Idaho's $236 thousand — signaling that Nevada work involves larger or longer-term service contracts. Recent examples include five purchase orders issued by BLM Idaho on June 1, 2025, for garbage dumpster and container services at Cottonwood Peak, Hot Canyon, Jakes, and Adobe Mountain locations in the Boise area, ranging from $19,117 to $75,494 per order and completing October 31, 2025. Elko Sanitation also holds two task orders under Blanket Purchase Agreement 140L2019A0004 (combined potential value $24 thousand).

Activity has been episodic rather than growth-oriented — two awards in 2017, two in 2019, one in 2020, one in 2022, and five in 2025 — with the recent surge driven by BLM Idaho regional purchase orders. Combined potential value across all awards is $1.3 million, with only 23% obligated to date. All five awards completing in the next year (the June 2025 BLM Idaho orders) represent near-term recompete opportunity. The award history shows no subcontracting activity; Elko operates exclusively as a prime contractor. The bulk of the work — nine awards in solid waste collection, seven in forestry support — reflects the company's base capability in regional sanitation and containerized waste management, with occasional incident-response and firefighting-equipment calls from wildland fire management programs.
