Single Stream Recycling

Tonnages

The County operates a residential curbside recycling program that serves approximately 165,000 single-family homes, as well as select duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes, within the unincorporated areas of the County. SSR M aterials are collected from curbside carts using the County’s automated collection fleet.

Through this Request for Proposals (RFP), the County seeks a contractor to process and market SSR M aterial generated specifically from the County’s North Area ( see Attachment A – North Area Collection Map ) . SSR M aterials will be delivered either by the County directly off-route to the Contractor’s receiving facility or to the County’s North Area Recovery Station (NARS), where SSR M aterial will be top-loaded into the Contractor’s tractor-trailers and transferred to Contractor’s processing fac i lity . County will guarantee a minimum delivery of 5,000 tons of SSR M aterial per fiscal year (July 1-June 30) .
