Recycling and Compostables Collection Services for City Facilities

The City of Seattle is soliciting bids from multiple vendors to provide comprehensive recycling and compostables collection services for its numerous city-owned facilities. This includes the removal, collection, and proper diversion of various recyclable materials such as paper, cardboard, glass, metals, and plastics, as well as compostable waste. Successful vendors will be responsible for providing and maintaining collection containers, adjusting service schedules as needed, and supporting the City's sustainability objectives through reliable reporting on collected materials and landfill diversion rates. The scope of work encompasses a wide array of City facilities, including office buildings, public safety centers, utility operations sites, and parks. The City aims to establish new contracts to ensure reliable service coverage, support diverse recycling streams, and align with environmental goals. The estimated annual expenditure for these services is approximately $3 million.
