On behalf of Marion County Utilities (MCU), Procurement issued a solicitation for the hauling and disposal of wastewater process sludge, debris, and grease. The requested services include the removal and disposal of liquid and stabilized and/or unstabilized residuals from the County’s wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and lift stations. These materials must be transported to a permitted Residuals Management Facility (RMF) located within Marion County and disposed of in compliance with all applicable regulations.
