Trash Services

INTRODUCTION
The Town of Emmitsburg is requesting sealed bids from qualified vendors for the collection, hauling and disposal of residential refuse over a three (3) year term contract. The Town of Emmitsburg has approximately 1,142 +/- units in need of trash collection, hauling and disposal services on a weekly basis. Current services occur on Monday morning every week. All curbside customers provide their own containers. These customers include town homes, single-family homes, apartment buildings and a limited number of small commercial enterprises throughout the boundary of the Town of Emmitsburg. All other commercial and industrial businesses contract for private collection and are not covered under this RFP. In addition to curbside pick-up, the Town would like the vendor to provide bulk and large item curbside pick-up twice (2) a year and a roll-off dumpster for yard waste/debris and discarded Christmas trees at a site determined by the Town.
