Polk County is located in Central Florida, between Orlando and Tampa, it has a population of approximately 650,000 inhabitants and shares a border with Orange County, where FCC was awarded last year, and is currently providing service for a 10 year contract for the collection of Municipal Solid Waste Collection.

The new contract divided the County in two zones. FCC was awarded to collect the Western Zone, the largest in terms of population, which includes approximately 75,000 households and 375,000 inhabitants. The maximum term of the contract is 10 years and the total revenues could reach the amount of $102 Million.

FCC will collect refuse, recyclable material, bulk waste and yard waste from all the households located within the Western Zone limits.

Carlos M. Jarque, CEO of FCC, congratulated the entire team involved in this project and thanked them for their hard work in making this award possible. "As the second award in Florida for FCC in the municipal services and the fifth in the United States, after the awards in Houston, Dallas, Orange County and University Park, this contract further reinforces FCC's footprint in the US environmental services market," said Jarque.
