BRUNSWICK COUNTY
REQUEST FOR
PROPOSALS
Household Hazardous Waste
Collection and Disposal Services
ISSUE DATE: January 22, 2026
DUE DATE: February 18, 2026
1. PROJECT OVERVIEW
Brunswick County is soliciting proposals for household hazardous waste collection and
disposal services.
The purpose of the permanent household hazardous waste collection facility is to provide
an opportunity for residents of Brunswick County to dispose of or recycle ignitable,
corrosive, reactive, toxic, and universal waste. This will help prevent accidental spills,
physical hazards, poisonings, and exposure due to home storage, reduce municipal solid
waste landfill contamination, and curtail public wastewater or private septic system
disposal.
The facility is located at 172 Landfill Road NE, Bolivia, NC 28422. The facility is operated
and staffed by County personnel. County personnel are responsible for the identification,
collection, and placement of waste in the appropriate areas for temporary storage.
The County’s collection will service all households within the County including residents
within city/town limits. Collection events are typically planned for the first Thursday of
each month but are subject to change in County’s sole and absolute discretion.

responsible for ensuring that they have all addenda. Brunswick County may negotiate and
refine the final Scope of Work with the selected contractor. Brunswick County reserves the
right to negotiate additional services with the selected contractor at any time after the initial
contract award.

bulking by chemical compatibility, lab pack, recycle, treat, and transportation of all
the household hazardous waste (“HHW”) collected at the Brunswick County site,

necessary for packaging, transportation, and disposal according to all applicable
DOT and EPA requirements.

week of scheduled events.
