The Salinas Valley Solid Waste Authority (Authority) (a.k.a. Salinas Valley Recycles) seeks proposals from qualified consultants to provide professional services to perform a waste characterization study of the agency’s three disposal and resource recovery facilities. With state mandates, AB 341, AB 1826 and SB 1383 primarily focus on diverting commercial recyclables and organic waste from landfill disposal and related greenhouse gas emission reductions, the services requested will assist in focusing on achieving the requirements of the laws and the Authority’s goal of attaining 75% diversion from landfills by targeting reduction of waste materials. The Authority’s most recent waste characterization study was completed in FY 2018-19 prior to SB 1383 being implemented.
Proposals must be received by 2:00 pm, Tuesday, April 29, 2025 (no post marks)
