RFP for Litter Audit Support and Analysis Released

Communities are seeking reliable data on municipal litter quantities, composition and collection costs for all litter and specifically for blue box material litter. The Municipal Resource Recovery and Research Collaborative (M3RC) is also seeking province-wide litter data to assist with advocacy efforts.  As a result, CIF is managing a Litter Audit Support and Analysis on behalf of M3RC and has just released an RFP to engage a consultant(s) to complete the following key tasks:

• Conduct broad litter research to support M3RC initiatives
• Develop a model to estimate the amount of municipal litter generated by category (i.e., non-packaging and packaging) and material type, as well as identify cost estimates for management of all municipal litter and specifically blue box material litter
• Compile community approaches, experiences and solutions regarding prevention and management of municipal litter
• Prepare a report summarizing the above three tasks

The RFP is posted on the CIF Bids, RFPs & Service & Career Opportunities web page. Subsequent addenda (including responses to inquiries from proponents) will be posted on that page as well.
