The current College Recycling Program entails a single stream process where the bulk of the waste is sent offsite (Oberlin) to be sorted and recycled; construction and bulk waste goes directly to the landfill. Recycling materials collected from designated recycling bins is bagged in clear bags. Unrecyclable waste is collected into black bags. Both clear and black bags are currently co-mingled in the same dumpster/compactor; clear and black bags are separated at the Oberlin sorting facility where black bags are diverted to the landfill. Currently the College averages 61% recycled : 39% un-recycled. The College seeks to maintain and work to increase its success with recycling, to divert additional waste from the landfill. It is expected that the contracted waste hauler(s) would provide their expertise to support this initiative and help continually improve the Colleges processes. The college recognizes that the specific methodology for accomplishing recycling and waste diversion may vary by prospective provider. The College also supports other waste diversion and recycling programs (Royal Oak Recycling paper collection bin in Parking Lot 7 open to the public) and it is required that the trash hauling contractor will support those initiatives as well or provide equivalent service. Interested parties are encouraged to visit all three (3) locations to become familiar with the College environment. A map of the current container locations is provided in the Supplemental Information. Failure to register for and receive addenda, or become familiar with the College environment will be considered as basis for additional compensation, after determination of award. Page 1
