Description
After years of trash collection issues in parts of Polk County, commissioners agreed to two new trash collection contracts which will go into effect in the fall of next year.
On Tuesday, commissioners selected FCC Environmental Services Florida, LLC and GFL Solid Waste Southeast to give contracts to. LLC will provide curbside residential solid waste collection services to Polk County from Oct. 1, 2024, through Dec. 31, 2029. The current waste collection contracts end on Sept. 30, 2024.
According to county commissioners, FCC will service Area 1 of Polk County. Area 1 encompasses about 65,000 dwelling units in the northwest quadrant of the county. The first year of the contract is valued at $16.9 million. FCC currently services this quadrant.
