The commercial and residential sectors in the region dis- pose of over 240,000 tons of organic waste (e.g., all types of food waste including fruits and vegetables, meats, seafood, grains, dairy and bakery waste) and compostable non-recyclable paper (e.g. food-soiled paper, waxed corrugated cardboard) annually. It is esti- mated that approximately 55% of this waste is generated by the commercial sector and 45% from residences. In 2010, the region recovered and composted over 22,500 tons of organic waste (“organics”) from the commercial sector; 17,700 tons of this material was received at Metro Central Transfer Station, referred to as Metro Central Station or MCS. The organic waste generated by the commercial sector is the focus of this procurement. Targeted businesses include grocers (retail and wholesale), restaurants, food service, caterers, institutional cafeterias and kitchens, and food processors. Metro estimates that this sector generates approximately 136,000 tons per year of recov- erable organic waste.
