Solid Waste and Recycling Collection Services

The Bergen County government authority in New Jersey is seeking a vendor to provide comprehensive solid waste and recycling collection services. The agency requires the collection, removal, and disposal of these materials from within its territorial and geographical boundaries. To manage this waste, the agency requires watertight metal or plastic containers with tight-fitting covers and handles, ranging from twenty to thirty-five gallons in capacity and weighing no more than seventy pounds when full. Plastic disposal bags that are at least three mils thick are also acceptable as solid waste containers. The agency is restricting eligibility to onshore organizations based in the United States. The selected contractor must perform all collection and disposal work onsite within the designated service areas. While the agency has not disclosed a specific budget, it is actively looking for proposals to determine the cost of these services. The agency has scheduled a pre-bid meeting for June 17, 2026, to discuss the project requirements with interested parties. Bidders must submit all clarification questions no later than July 08, 2026. The agency will evaluate proposals based on the submitted bids, though specific evaluation criteria weights are not detailed in the initial solicitation.
