Quotes should include pricing for the pick-up and hauling of residential recycling from a minimum of 10,000 and a maximum of 13,000 residential dwelling units (RDUs) covering every street in the City. Currently 11,800 RDUs are served and approximately 2,807 tons of recycling is collected annually. For context, the City typically delivers service each day with three trucks each with single operators. Each truck has a capacity of 24 cubic yards and typically no truck has to do more than one trip to the transfer station per day. The City also requests an additional alternate quote for every other week (EOW) recycling service for the same number of residential dwelling units. No recycling will be collected from commercial or City of Burlington owned properties.
