Government contracts for waste & recycling services in Massachusetts

Waste & recycling services contracts in Massachusetts 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.

Massachusetts currently has 16 open waste & recycling services contracts in our database, with 16 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 buyers are City of Cambridge (3 open posts) and City of Worcester (2), with the rest spread across other federal civilian agencies, DoD components, and state and local departments active in Massachusetts.

Beyond federal opportunities, much of the waste & recycling services work in Massachusetts is posted through COMMBUYS, with recurring buyers including MassDOT, the MBTA, and University of Massachusetts campuses. Massachusetts uses statewide contracts (SWCs) — once you're on a relevant SWC, agencies can buy from you without re-soliciting. 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.
