NAICS 562219: Other Nonhazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal

NAICS 562219 – Other Nonhazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal encompasses the collection, treatment, recycling, and final disposal of nonhazardous solid and industrial waste streams that do not fall under hazardous waste classifications. This includes municipal solid waste, construction and demolition debris, industrial byproducts, and inert materials processed through landfilling, composting, incineration with energy recovery, or mechanical-biological treatment. The sector supports federal compliance with environmental regulations such as the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and plays a critical role in sustaining sustainable waste management practices across federal facilities, military installations, and public infrastructure projects. It intersects with broader environmental services and sustainability initiatives within government operations, often integrated into broader facility management and environmental remediation contracts. No contractor data is available for this NAICS code, indicating a fragmented or highly localized contractor base, potentially dominated by regional waste haulers, small businesses, or subcontractors embedded in larger environmental services contracts. The competitive landscape may favor local or minority-owned firms with specialized permitting and logistics capabilities rather than large national primes. No agency data is available, though demand is likely driven by the General Services Administration, Department of Defense, Department of the Interior, and U.S. Postal Service for waste services at federal buildings, bases, and remote operations. Missions involving facility sustainment, environmental compliance, and green infrastructure upgrades underpin procurement activity. The market is characterized by low entry barriers but high regulatory and operational complexity, creating niche opportunities for contractors with expertise in waste stream segregation, recycling technology, and state/federal permitting. Procurement is often bundled with facility operations or environmental services, suggesting that contractors may find greater success through partnerships or as subcontractors within larger environmental management contracts.
