The City of Kirkland is seeking a qualified consultant to support its commercial and multi-family organics waste program through outreach, technical assistance, and route optimization. The project is driven by Washington State’s Organics Management Law, which mandates businesses to manage organic waste through composting, donation, or other diversion methods. The consultant will conduct a comprehensive audit of existing organics collection routes, evaluate service efficiency, and recommend improvements such as service level adjustments and customer engagement strategies. Additionally, the consultant will provide targeted outreach to businesses and multi-family complexes to increase participation, reduce contamination, and ensure compliance with state regulations. Responsibilities include educating stakeholders, supporting food waste reduction initiatives, coordinating with service providers, and tracking measurable outcomes such as waste diversion volumes. The project also requires detailed reporting, including performance metrics, program evaluation, and strategic recommendations for long-term improvements to the City’s organics management program.
