Government contracts for waste & recycling services in Washington

Waste & recycling services contracts in Washington 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.

Washington currently has 4 open waste & recycling services contracts in our database, with 2 added in the last 30 days. Volume in smaller markets is lumpy: a single base or facility can drive a quarter of annual postings. The most active buyers are Washington (2 open posts) and DEPT OF THE ARMY (1), with the rest spread across other federal civilian agencies, DoD components, and state and local departments active in Washington.

Beyond federal opportunities, much of the waste & recycling services work in Washington is posted through Washington's Electronic Business Solution (WEBS), with recurring buyers including WSDOT, the University of Washington / Washington State University, and Sound Transit. Washington's Office of Minority and Women's Business Enterprises (OMWBE) certification is the gate for most diversity-set-aside spend at the state level. 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.
