Spain’s FCC Gets 5-Year Waste Services Contract from City of Houston

12/11/2014

MADRID – Spain’s FCC said Wednesday its British environmental services unit won a five-year contract from Houston worth $37 million to manage waste products in the Texas city.

Under the terms of the contract, FCC Environmental Services will handle biosolids and sludge from the city and neighboring counties over a five-year period, FCC said.

The company will serve more than 2 million people in Houston and its metropolitan area using a fleet of 20 trucks to collect between 25,000 and 45,000 tons of biosolids in the city annually.

The contract with the City of Houston is the first obtained by FCC since the sale in mid-October of its U.S. industrial waste and recycling business to Heritage-Crystal Clean.

FCC’s other businesses in the United States, such as trash collection, recycling, treatment of urban solid waste, management of industrial waste, treatment of waste from oil and gas exploration, soil decontamination and other environmental services are now handled by FCC Environmental Services.

Houston has the fourth-largest population among U.S. cities and is the main global hub for the energy industry.
