Waste Management contracts — common questions
How do I get government waste contracts?expand_more
Register on SAM.gov under 562111 (Solid Waste Collection) and the related 562-family codes you operate in, then watch the installations your routes can reach. Incumbency is beatable at recompete time if you can document capacity and disposal arrangements — the solicitations spell out exactly what to prove.
What codes and size standards apply?expand_more
The 562 family: 562111 and 562119 for collection, 562211 for hazardous-waste treatment and disposal, 562991 for septic services, 562998 for miscellaneous waste management. Standards are receipts-based; most regional haulers qualify as small.
Are hazardous-waste contracts different?expand_more
Yes — 562211 work carries permitting, manifesting, and compliance requirements well beyond refuse collection, and solicitations require documented EPA/state authorizations. Don't bid it without the permits already in hand.
