Government contracts for waste & recycling services in Illinois

Waste & recycling services contracts in Illinois typically cover scheduled refuse and recycling collection at military bases and federal buildings, roll-off and dumpster service on construction and demolition sites, transfer-station and landfill operations support, hazardous and regulated-waste disposal, and recurring junk and debris-removal IDIQs. Federal posts in this category fall under NAICS 562111 (Solid Waste Collection), with related work classified under 562119 (Other Waste Collection) and 562212 (Solid Waste Landfill), and the bulk of the work flows to DoD installations, the GSA Public Buildings Service, the U.S. Postal Service, and the Department of Veterans Affairs. Recurring collection contracts are heavily small-business set-aside and frequently reserved for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB haulers, since most fall under the simplified acquisition threshold and favor regional operators over national waste majors.

Volume in smaller markets is lumpy: a single base or facility can drive a quarter of annual postings. The most active buyer is EPA - Environmental Protection Agency (1 open posts), but contracts also come from federal civilian agencies and state-level departments operating in Illinois.

Beyond federal opportunities, much of the waste & recycling services work in Illinois is posted through the Illinois Procurement Bulletin (BidBuy), with recurring buyers including the Illinois Department of Transportation, the University of Illinois system, and the Illinois Tollway. Illinois requires BEP (Business Enterprise Program) certification for minority-, women-, and veteran-owned firms to access targeted set-aside spend. ContractRadar pulls federal postings from SAM.gov alongside state and local feeds so a waste and recycling vendor doesn't have to monitor each portal manually.
