Government contracts for waste & recycling services in Maryland

Waste & recycling services contracts in Maryland 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.

Maryland currently has 8 open waste & recycling services contracts in our database, with 8 added in the last 30 days. That's a steady cadence — enough flow to make automated alerting worthwhile rather than manual portal-checking. The most active buyer is DEPT OF THE ARMY (8 open posts), but contracts also come from federal civilian agencies and state-level departments operating in Maryland.

Beyond federal opportunities, much of the waste & recycling services work in Maryland is posted through eMaryland Marketplace Advantage (eMMA), with recurring buyers including the Maryland Department of Transportation, University System of Maryland campuses, and Maryland Stadium Authority. Maryland aggressively enforces MBE goals — most contracts carry a target percentage that prime contractors must subcontract to certified MBE firms. 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.
