SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION
A government authority in New York is seeking a vendor to provide waste characterization study services for the city's solid waste streams. The selected contractor will conduct a comprehensive study covering refuse, organics, paper, metal, glass, and plastic recycling portions of the total solid waste stream, including characterization of both recyclable and non-recyclable materials.
The study is intended to support improvements in waste prevention, reuse, recycling, and other sanitation-related public education efforts, while also strengthening enforcement of existing recycling and sanitation laws and codes. The resulting information should also be useful to recycling and organics processors involved in accepting the city's recyclable and compostable materials.
In addition, the work should help the city understand how solid waste generation has changed over time by comparing current study results with findings from prior waste characterization studies. Questions related to the solicitation must be submitted by August 6, 2026.
