Recyclables Collection, Processing and Marketing Services

The City of Dunedin, Florida, is seeking a vendor to provide comprehensive recyclables collection, processing, and marketing services. The municipality requires a service provider capable of managing standard residential collections alongside specialized services, including bulk material and yard waste collection using rear-loader trucks on the same schedule as garbage pickup. The service scope also encompasses backdoor collection for forty-one households with medical or hardship designations, as well as specialized collection for approximately eighty residents living on historic roads and in other hard-to-service areas. The procurement is restricted to onshore organizations based in the United States. Bidders must attend a mandatory proposal meeting scheduled for June 11, 2026, to remain eligible for award. Interested parties must pay an additional fee of five dollars directly to the city, separate from any third-party platform fees, to obtain the main request for proposals document containing the full evaluation criteria and submission instructions. The city is requesting budget proposals from qualified vendors rather than offering a pre-determined budget range. Proposals may be submitted digitally via email or through the designated online portal. This initial notice serves to establish contact with the contracting authority and outline the core service parameters.
