Project Background: The District of Columbia is seeking better ways to utilize various types of waste collected to encourage recycling, energy production, and other environmentally friendly uses. As an example, the District collects more than 20,000 tons of recyclables from single-family homes and other residential buildings each year with limited ability to fully process this material. In order to achieve these objectives, the District is exploring options to partner with a private partner to deliver and operate a municipal waste management and recycling center, also known as a materials recovery facility (MRF).

District Agencies:

• Department of Public Works (DPW)
• Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE)
• Department of General Services (DGS)

Status: Under Consideration
