The Department of Public Works, Streets & Sanitation Division is soliciting proposals for qualified, licensed organic

waste management and composting vendors to provide comprehensive yard waste disposal, hauling, or processing

services for the City of Buffalo. The goal of this RFQ is to establish a contract with a reliable partner ensuring

environmentally compliant, cost-effective disposal of seasonal organic waste. The initial contract period is

anticipated to be a five-year base term with an optional two-year renewal. However, the City welcomes professional

recommendations. Proposers are encouraged to propose an alternative timeline if they believe a different time

frame would better optimize project outcomes, resource allocation, or cost efficiencies.
