The City of Waco is seeking qualified contractors to provide leachate hauling services from its MSW 2400 landfill site at 4730 TK Parkway in Axtell, Texas, to its Central Wastewater Treatment Plant located at 1147 Treatment Plant Road in Waco, Texas, a distance of approximately 20.6 miles one way. Bidders must furnish all necessary labor, equipment, transportation, permits, and materials to safely and legally load, haul, and unload leachate during designated operational hours of 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday.

All services must comply with applicable environmental and transportation regulations, and the contractor assumes responsibility for ensuring safe and legal handling throughout the transport process. The solicitation, identified as RFB2026-032, was posted on July 21, 2026, with bids due by August 14, 2026, at 8:00 PM.
