Scrap Tire Collection and Recycling Services

The Mecklenburg County government authority in Charlotte, North Carolina is seeking a vendor to provide scrap tire collection and recycling services. The agency needs to prevent the accumulation of scrap tires on the ground overnight by ensuring continuous access to empty collection equipment. To solve this waste management challenge, the selected contractor must provide all necessary containers, trailers, and transportation equipment, and remove all loaded trailers within twenty-four hours of filling. The scope of work requires the vendor to haul and remove the trailers, coordinate equipment schedules to maintain sufficient loading space, and report the exact weight of collected tires to the county. Bidders must have access to truck weight scales that are certified and calibrated at least annually to ensure accurate reporting. The contractor must also guarantee that no other materials or tires are collected or commingled into the trailers once they leave the county facility. Eligibility is restricted to onshore organizations based in the United States, and all contracted work must be performed offsite. The agency is looking for budget proposals to determine the cost of these services, which will be governed by a three-year contract period. Key dates for this procurement include a pre-bid meeting scheduled for June 10, 2026, and a final deadline for all questions on June 24, 2026.
