None of these buildings are adjacent to each other. T he buildings consist of multiple floors containing office spaces currently occupied by a variety of federal tenant agencies including courtrooms and offices of the federal Judiciary.

The GSA requires that all buildings throughout the region recycle all building generated wastes to the highest degree achievable using current technology and disposal methods. In addition, GSA will compost, to the greatest extent possible, yard waste and organic waste generated by the building operations. The intent of this Contract is to solicit single-stream, off-site composting and waste hauling services as well as supporting tenant education and promotional services to aid GSA in meeting its' goals for waste diversion. The contract will require the contractor to conduct a solid waste audit of all buildings, dispose of non-recyclable waste within 50-60 miles of the City of Boston, recycle all recyclable materials collected and utilize any proceeds from the sales of such materials to reduce the actual service costs for trash hauling to each of the federal buildings.
