The Metro region comprises three counties and 25 cities
with a combined population of nearly 1.6 million people.
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.
