Sample service description for a legally compliant award of the contract for used tire disposal

Tried and tested template for municipalities, cities and counties – directly usable and adaptable to local requirements

The disposal of used tires is increasingly presenting municipalities, cities, and counties with complex challenges. In addition to legally compliant tendering processes, ensuring transparent disposal routes, compliance with legal requirements, and the implementation of the circular economy are particularly important.

Reduce the effort involved in creating your tender documents while simultaneously establishing a solid foundation for legally compliant and transparent exploitation.

The sample specification provides you with a tried and tested template to efficiently prepare tenders and implement them professionally and reliably.

Requirements for the tender for used tire disposal

The collection and recycling of used tires and rubber waste requires clearly defined processes and unambiguous responsibilities. Public contracting authorities must ensure that all legal requirements are met and disposal routes are fully documented – balancing economic efficiency, environmental requirements, and procurement law creates an organizational burden.

Structured basis for your service description

The model specification developed by the ZARE initiative was created specifically for the requirements of municipal waste management structures. It serves as a field-tested basis for tenders in the transport and recycling of used tires and rubber waste. The template can be used directly and adapted to specific local conditions as needed.

Components of the sample service description

The service description covers the entire disposal process and takes particular account of:

  • Provision of suitable containers at transshipment stations or landfills
  • Organization of transport to the recycling plant
  • Professional and legally compliant disposal
  • Complete documentation of disposal routes

  • Prioritization of material recycling
Provision of suitable containers at transshipment stations or landfills

Disposal process within the framework of the tender

The tender clearly defines the entire process, from providing suitable containers to recycling the used tires. The containers are provided at the respective transfer station or landfill and filled by the client. Once full, a certified transport company collects the used tires and transports them to the recycling facility. There, they are professionally recycled in compliance with all legal requirements. The entire process is documented and traceable for the client at any time.

Legal requirements and documentation

In our service description, we place great emphasis on compliance with all relevant legal requirements. This includes, in particular, the qualifications of the companies involved, proper documentation, and a transparent presentation of the entire value chain.

Cooperation with certified used tire disposal companies ensures that high-quality and sustainable recycling methods are implemented.
