Food Scraps Recycling

The City of Madison is seeking proposals from qualified vendors for Food Scraps Recycling. The project aims to provide locations at neighborhood farmer's markets for residents to drop off food scraps for composting. The selected vendor will be responsible for building a partnership with a local composting operation, hauling food scraps to the composting facility, maintaining market locations, and reporting weekly totals to the City. The vendor will also be required to develop an expansion plan and perform outreach activities to promote food scraps composting. Key aspects of the project include: • Partnering with a local composting operation to receive and compost food scraps • Hauling food scraps from market locations to the composting facility • Maintaining at least four market locations within the City of Madison • Reporting weekly totals to the City's Recycling Coordinator and Sustainability Staff • Developing an expansion plan to move beyond the initial four market locations • Performing outreach activities to promote food scraps composting
