Recycling Services for City Property

The City of Seattle is seeking multiple vendors to provide routine recycling and compostables collection services for City-owned facilities across the Seattle region. The successful vendors will be responsible for ensuring collected materials are recycled or otherwise diverted from landfill disposal. The services will include providing and maintaining collection containers, adjusting collection schedules as needed, and supporting the City’s goals for environmental stewardship, regulatory compliance, and community benefit. The contract term will be for five years, with one two-year extension allowed at the option of the City. Some key points to consider: • The City operates a wide range of facilities, including office buildings, public safety centers, utility operations sites, parks and community service properties. • Recycling services support the City’s sustainability objectives by promoting reuse of materials, reducing waste, and fostering local economic and environmental benefits. • The City anticipates awarding multiple contracts to ensure reliable service coverage, support for diverse recycling streams, and alignment with the City’s environmental sustainability goals. • The City estimates approximately $3 million in total annual expenditure under these contracts, with an average monthly invoice per location of approximately $1,000. • The successful vendors must demonstrate the ability to service multiple locations, respond to on-call requests, and provide reliable reporting on materials collected and processed.
