COLLECTION, RECYCLING AND REPORTING OF COVERED ELECTRONIC WASTE (CEW), UNCOVERED WASTE ELECTRONIC DEVICES (UWED), RECYCLABLE ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT MATERIALS (REEM) AND UNIVERSAL WASTE (UWASTE)

The contract involves the collection, recycling, and reporting of various categories of electronic and universal waste, including Covered Electronic Waste (CEW), Uncovered Waste Electronic Devices (UWED), Recyclable Electric Equipment Materials (REEM), and Universal Waste (UWASTE) for Sacramento County. For the past 17 years, large copiers, CRTs, and oversized flat screens have been efficiently collected using 40-yard roll-off containers at two primary sites, KLF and NARS. The current operation involves County staff packing these waste items into designated containers such as pallet cages and roll-off bins, with contractors responsible for transporting and recycling materials, especially when the recycling facility is located outside county limits. The contractor is expected to define the types of containers they will provide, including possible totes, cages, pallets, or roll-off bins, and handle dismantling and recycling of component parts, as well as manage any universal or hazardous waste involved. Additionally, the County provides empty containers for light bulbs and batteries upon request, using 55-gallon drums for batteries and palletized, shrink-wrapped containers for light bulbs, including specialized tubular containers sized 8ft and 4ft. While County staff currently manage packing and local transportation when recycling facilities are within Sacramento County, the contractor is sometimes required to transport roll-off containers or cages on an as-needed basis. The solicitation aims to secure a contractor who can maintain operational efficiency, uphold environmental protocols, and meet recycling and reporting requirements under this contract, with deadlines and contact information specified for interested proposers.
