Government contracts for waste & recycling services in Rhode Island

Waste & recycling services contracts in Rhode Island 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.

There are no open waste & recycling services contracts visible in Rhode Island right now, but new postings land daily — historically this category sees several postings per month statewide. Setting up a saved search now means catching the next Rhode Island post the moment it hits SAM.gov or the state procurement portal, often several days before vendors who only check manually each week. Buyers span a mix of federal civilian agencies, DoD installations, and state and local governments active in Rhode Island.

Beyond federal opportunities, much of the waste & recycling services work in Rhode Island is posted through the Rhode Island Division of Purchases bid portal, with recurring buyers including RIDOT and the University of Rhode Island. The Division of Purchases handles centralized buying for nearly all state agencies and quasi-publics. 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.
