Disposal and Recycling of Utility Wood Poles, Pallets, and Reels

The scope of work covers pickup and disposal and/or recycling of decommissioned wood poles, pallets, and reels for Participating Members, which are stored in their service territories on a regular basis. The poles include creosote-treated, Penta, and Chromated Copper Arsenate mixture (CCA) distribution and transmission poles of varying lengths, averaging 40 feet. Reels are of standard electrical industry cable supply variety and differ in diameter and weight. Pallets are of usual consumer delivery variety in assorted sizes and weights. Conditions of wooden items vary by age, use and wear. The volume of wood waste generated at each site varies (and is not guaranteed). The goals of this RFP are to alleviate the stockpile of PPR at Participants’ sites; reduce wood waste taken to landfills; reduce risk and liability; reduce environmental impact, transference of ownership to vendor and receipt of certificates of destruction. The goals are to be met by a turnkey cyclical pickup of wooden items as directed by the Participating Member(s).
