Waste Disposal and Recycle Services

The Department of Veterans Affairs in Togus, Maine requires comprehensive waste disposal and recycling services to manage its facility waste streams. The agency is seeking a vendor to collect, transport, and process a wide variety of materials to support its environmental and waste management goals. The project covers single-stream recycling of cardboard, mixed paper, plastic, glass, and aluminum, as well as scrap metal such as appliances, office furniture, wire, pipe, and medical equipment. The scope also encompasses the disposal and recycling of scrap wood, pallets, construction and demolition debris, shrink wrap, and plastic bags. Additionally, the agency requires management of food waste and organic waste, which includes compostable containers, food service items like plates, bowls, and utensils, paper towels, napkins, and yard and garden waste. The selected contractor must perform the processing work offsite at their own office premises rather than on the agency grounds. Eligibility is strictly limited to onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is currently looking for proposals to determine the cost of these services.
