RFI - Solid Waste innovative ideas

The County of Fairfax’s Solid Waste Management Program (SWMP) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to gather innovative ideas and concepts that can enhance its solid waste planning, sustainability, and zero‑waste objectives. The RFI seeks novel methods, technologies, and approaches that can improve waste diversion, recycling, processing, and disposal to meet the county’s long‑term targets of a 25 % reduction in waste generation and a 90 % diversion rate by 2040. This is an exploratory solicitation; no contract will be awarded directly from this RFI, but responses may influence future procurement and project development. • Goal: Support SWMP’s near‑ and long‑term sustainability plans, aiming for zero‑waste targets. • Scope: Concepts for waste reduction, diversion, recycling, processing, and disposal technologies or methods. • Deadline: Submissions must be received by 30 Oct 2026. • Audience: Companies, research institutions, and innovators with expertise in solid‑waste management, environmental engineering, or related technologies.
