FCC receives 3 new contracts in Texas

Company now has contracts with 10 Texas municipalities.


FCC Environmental Services, the U.S. subsidiary of the environmental services division of FCC Group, Spain, has been awarded three new contracts in the state of Texas, increasing the company’s order book by $7 million (6.12 million euros), according to a news release from FCC.

To date, FCC has signed 10 contracts with municipalities in the state of Texas and two with municipalities in Florida, for a total of 12 contracts in the U.S.

The first contract includes the management of all the biosolids for the city of the Garland’s water treatment system, including transportation to the city landfill.

The second award signed by FCC, also with the city of Garland, is for the processing and marketing of recyclables for the Garland Independent School District, which encompasses a total of 68 schools and more than 56,000 students.

With 235,000 inhabitants, Garland is one of the 10 most populated cities in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan region. Since 2016, FCC has managed all the recyclables generated by Garland residents—approximately 10,000 tons per year—which are processed at the recycling facility FCC developed in the city of Dallas.

FCC also has been awarded the contract to process all recyclables from the city of Lewisville for a term of nine years, including extensions. With a population of 106,000, Lewisville is one of the fastest growing cities in North Texas, FCC says. Through this agreement, FCC will recycle and market all recyclables for the city, which amount to approximately 5,500 tons per year. FCC will process the collected material at its material recovery facility (MRF) in Dallas.

FCC’s Dallas MRF was named Recycling Facility of the Year in 2017 by the National Waste & Recycling Association, Arlington, Virginia.

FCC’s newest recycling facility in Houston will have a capacity of 145,000 tons per year and is expected to begin operations by March 2019, according to the company. FCC says it has a 15-year contract with the city of Houston and has accumulated a total order book value of more than $900 million in the U.S., serving more than 8 million Americans.
