Overview

Lane County seeks proposals for hazardous waste disposal services involving pickup of hazardous materials at the Glenwood - Central Receiving Station (CRS). Since 1998, Lane County has operated a permanent hazardous waste collection facility at the Glenwood site for households and small quantity conditionally exempted generators (CEG’s), and conducts 5-6 mobile collections per year.  All pick-up of hazardous wastes must be made at the Glenwood CRS and all proposals should be priced accordingly.  The goals of Lane County Waste Management are to manage resources, to preserve environmental quality, to protect the county owned landfill and to provide the citizens of Lane County the opportunity to manage hazardous material properly.  Of the standard disposal options -- reuse, recycling, energy recovery, neutralization, destructive incineration and landfill – Lane County prefers those resulting in the most beneficial use, with the highest degree of  preference being placed on reuse and descending to the least preferred disposal option of landfill.

The complete Scope of Work, as well as all other instructions and criteria for the solicitation are encompassed in the RFP package, attached at top of this page. 

Lane County may re­ject any proposal not in compliance with all prescribed public bidding procedures and requirements, and may reject for good cause any or all proposals upon a finding that it is in the public interest to do so.
