The City of Pittsburgh is advancing its commitment to achieving Zero Waste by 2030 through an upcoming project focused on expanding municipal composting capabilities. Recognizing the significant impact of organic waste on regional landfills, particularly food scraps, surplus food, and yard waste, the city underscores the critical role of composting programs in its Climate Action Plan, SoilMill PGH pilot, and other related initiatives. However, current limitations in infrastructure, budget, staffing, and space prevent the city from implementing weekly curbside compost collection or independently processing food waste. Previous efforts include seasonal compost drop-offs at farmers' markets and biannual yard waste pickups, but further development is needed to bridge infrastructure and resource gaps. The city is soliciting proposals through an RFP to help plan and pilot a year-round municipal composting program, including site and technology evaluation, cost analysis, and feasibility testing. This will support the transition towards a circular economy while enabling partnerships with local experts and municipal collaborators to sustain a Zero Waste future. The results of this initiative are expected to update and enhance the city’s existing Zero Waste strategy with an implementable composting plan. Proposals are due by March 9, 2026, and the project is managed by the City Planning office with points of contact designated for sustainability and procurement oversight.

Full Description

Having highlighted its significance in the City's Climate Action Plan, Sustainable Development Goals, and Just Transition planning, we recognize the need to seek city-wide participation from all sectors to improve our efforts in increasing diversion and striving for Zero Waste by 2030. As Western PA is home to several landfills and our City is one of the largest municipal waste contributors in Allegheny County, we realize that a solution for organic waste offers great potential for positive regional change and achieving our Zero Waste goals. Organic waste (especially surplus food, food scraps, and yard waste) is a large contributor to US landfills. Removing such waste from our stream, if appropriately planned, would have broad impacts on the region's soils, food, water, and air. The City of Pittsburgh's Roadmap to Zero Waste, Climate Action Plan, and, more recently, the City's Goals on Littering and Dumping (GOLD) Plan, along with the SoilMill PGH waste pilot, have been instrumental in comprehensive visioning that highlights the importance of regional waste planning which notes compost programming as a critical component in achieving the city's broader waste diversion goals. While weekly curbside compost collection would be advantageous to many in the city, the infrastructure to support such a program doesn't currently exist. Additionally, with our current budgetary constraints, fleet, and staff, it is not feasible for the City's Environmental Services team to operate a third route for curbside compost service, and our street division locations lack the space to accommodate meaningful composting operations. In 2023, through its SoilMill PGH Pilot, the city tested a variety of composting methods among residents and its community centers. In light of all the work and progress we have made, the city is now seeking assistance to solidify the next phase of Pittsburgh's Zero Waste planning. The City has identified infrastructure and resource gaps that inhibit our ability to meet existing and future goals. Previous efforts to bridge these gaps include the expansion of our existing seasonal Farmers' Market composting drop-offs and a state-mandated twice-a-year curbside yard waste pickup program. Currently, the City of Pittsburgh is unable to collect compost as part of its residential curbside service or to manage the processing of food waste independently. With the issuance of the RFP, the City is seeking assistance with further site and technology planning, cost analysis, goal setting, and feasibility testing to facilitate a transition to a circular economy. We believe there are innovative solutions available that will enable us to establish partnerships with local professionals and leverage municipal collaborations and policies to ensure a sustainable Zero Waste future for Pittsburgh. We look forward to receiving proposals that incorporate the lessons learned and best practices in recycling, waste management, and composting. It is anticipated that the results from this RFP be considered as an update and addendum to The City's existing Zero Waste plan, with the addition of an implementable plan for a year-round municipal composting program.
