Government contracts for waste & recycling services in New York

Waste & recycling services contracts in New York 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.

New York currently has 27 open waste & recycling services contracts in our database, with 22 added in the last 30 days. That's enough volume that a focused small business can win recurring work in this state without ever leaving its home market. The most active buyers are New York State (3 open posts) and DEPT OF THE ARMY (3), with the rest spread across other federal civilian agencies, DoD components, and state and local departments active in New York.

Beyond federal opportunities, much of the waste & recycling services work in New York is posted through the New York State Contract Reporter, with recurring buyers including the New York State Department of Transportation, the MTA, the Port Authority of NY/NJ, and SUNY/CUNY. New York mandates aggressive MWBE participation goals (often 30%) on most state contracts — primes must demonstrate good-faith outreach to certified subs. 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.
