E-Waste Collection Events

The Idaho National Laboratory, via Battelle Energy Alliance, is seeking qualified e‑waste recyclers to organize residential collection events in U.S. states that lack e‑waste recycling regulations. The effort supports a DOE research project comparing collection strategies across regulated and non‑regulated states and will run through September 30 2027. Selected firms will be invited later to a formal RFP. • Eligible states include 24 non‑regulated states such as Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, etc. • Each participating organization must conduct 2‑3 collection events (total 6‑9 events) before September 2027. • Services required: compile existing collection data, organize events, advertise via multiple channels, and report participant numbers and waste quantities. • Applicants must detail existing collection infrastructure, community need, downstream processing partners, and any certifications (R2, e‑Stewards). • Submission deadline: 13 Nov 2026; responses may be used to develop a future RFP invitation list.
