FCC Environmental Services renews $15M in municipal contracts

FCC Environmental Services, with U.S. headquarters in The Woodlands, Texas, announced April 7 that it has received the renewal and expansion of three municipal contracts in the Dallas and Omaha areas totaling $15 million, extending the agreements through 2024.

Contracts were signed for both Omaha, Nebraska, solid waste collection and disposal, and the city of Mesquite, Texas, extending the recycling services contract totaling $500,000.

The contract for transportation and processing of recyclables for the city of Garland, Texas, expanded to now include recycling collection and processing, worth about $14.5 million.

“FCC Environmental Services continues to provide exceptional service to our communities, as evidenced by not only these contract extensions but expansions,” FCC Environmental Services CEO Inigo Sanz says. “We’re proud of our top-notch workforce and its service record.”

Recyclables collected and bundled in Mesquite sell as source material to local companies, such as Smurfit Kappa, WestRock, Georgia-Pacific Corp. and International Paper, FCC says.

“Our recyclable materials continue to have strong market value,” Andrea Rodriguez-Pinero, director of U.S. recycling at FCC, says.

The recyclable items for the cities of Garland and Mesquite are processed at FCC’s Dallas Material Recycling Facility, in partnership with the city of Dallas, through an 18-year contract. The Dallas MRF, which won the National Waste and Recycling Association’s 2017 Best Recycling Facility of the Year award, can process up to 145,000 tons a year.

FCC Environmental Services provides solid waste solutions for more than 8.5 million Americans as part of more than 25 municipal contracts.
