The Town of Oxford, Maryland is seeking a qualified contractor to provide comprehensive yard waste, bulk collection, and processing services. The agency is trying to solve the challenge of managing residential waste by securing safe, reliable, and efficient collection services that maximize recycling, composting, and waste diversion while minimizing landfill disposal. The selected provider must deliver dependable, cost-effective services using qualified personnel and well-maintained equipment, maintaining high customer service standards and complying with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations.

The agency will host a pre-bid meeting on July 6, 2026, to discuss the project requirements. Bidders must submit all questions regarding the solicitation no later than July 10, 2026.
