RFI 252701 Ditch the Dumpster

Arizona State University is gathering information from suppliers to support its “Ditch the Dumpster” program—a campus‑wide donation, reuse, diversion, and recycling initiative for students living on‑campus. The RFI requests details on operational models, staffing, collection methods, safety protocols, reporting, and potential partnership structures for any or all program scopes (non‑perishable food donations, cleaning/hygiene product donations, household-item donations, and mattress‑pad collection). Responses will help shape a future solicitation that could cover single‑site or multi‑campus service delivery. • Scope includes waste‑trash, food‑donation, cleaning‑product, and household‑item collection across Tempe, West, Polytechnic, and Downtown ASU campuses. • Suppliers must submit a completed “Single Point of Contact” document and answer structured questions covering interest, experience, operational approach, materials accepted, safety, reporting, and community impact. • Attachments provide operational calendars (move‑in/move‑out), historical tonnage data, signage examples, bin counts, and sample insurance/safety concepts to inform vendor proposals.
