Residential Refuse and Recyclable Materials Collection Services

The Montgomery County government authority in Maryland is seeking a contractor to provide residential refuse and recyclable materials collection services. The agency requires this collection to solve the ongoing logistical challenge of managing municipal waste, yard trim, and recyclable materials for its residents. The scope of work covers the provision of specific collection vehicles, including split-body and low-entry rear load vehicles for recycling, refuse, and yard trim, as well as stake body trucks for scrap metal, electronic waste, and household battery collection. The agency also requires non-commercial driver's license twelve-cubic-yard rear load vehicles for commingled materials recycling, alongside low-entry rear load vehicles for paper recycling. To ensure safety and resolve service complaints, the agency mandates that all contractor and subcontractor collection vehicles must have functioning global positioning system units and cameras installed on the front, rear, sides, and interior. The contract period will run for one year, and the performance of the work will take place offsite. Bidders must meet the eligibility rule of being onshore and operating only within the United States of America. The agency is looking for proposals to determine the budget and has not signaled a specific funding limit. The key date for this opportunity is the pre-bid meeting, which the agency will hold on June 4, 2026.
