Refuse and Recycling Services

Anne Arundel Community College is soliciting proposals for comprehensive refuse and recycling services across its facilities in Arnold, Glen Burnie, and Arundel Mills, Maryland. The selected contractor will be responsible for the collection, transportation, and disposal of refuse, as well as cardboard and single-stream recycling. Key performance requirements include servicing trash and recycling containers by 7:00 A.M. daily, completing cardboard collection within 24 hours, and addressing missed pickups within 24 hours of notification. The contract has an initial term of two years with the possibility of annual renewals at the college's discretion. Qualified contractors must possess at least five years of experience and be licensed, bonded, and insured in Maryland. Proposals are evaluated based on the most advantageous offer rather than price alone, with a strong emphasis on financial stability and minority business enterprise participation. Submission requirements include a two-volume proposal delivered via email by October 29, 2026. The contractor must adhere to strict safety standards, including full compliance with OSHA and MOSH regulations, and provide proof of an active SAM.gov registration. Payment terms are set at net thirty days in arrears.
