Municipal Solid Waste and Recycling Services

The Town of Glastonbury is soliciting proposals under solicitation number RPGL-2027-20 for Municipal Solid Waste and Recycling Services. The town seeks qualified firms to provide permitted facilities in close proximity to Glastonbury to receive, process, dispose of, and recycle municipal solid waste, bulky non-processible waste, and food waste. The anticipated contract begins on July 1, 2027, with an initial term of three years and two optional one-year renewals. Selected vendors must operate facilities Monday through Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., ensuring truck tipping times do not exceed thirty minutes. Facilities are required to use calibrated truck scales and comply with all Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection regulations. Proposals are due by October 28, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. and must be submitted as a single consolidated PDF via the town's Bonfire hub. Evaluation will be based on technical understanding, approach and capability, schedule, compliance, cost, and geographic proximity. The town will select the proposal that provides the best overall value. Financial terms require respondents to provide pricing per ton or haul, with monthly consolidated invoicing that credits recyclable material revenues against disposal fees. Contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance, including general liability, auto, pollution, and workers compensation, naming the Town of Glastonbury as an additional insured.
