The city of Corinth, Texas, has renewed its solid waste collection contract, which expired at the end of 2024, with Community Waste Disposal (CWD), Dallas.
Corinth City Council approved the seven-year contract renewal in a unanimous vote.
The city reached out to residents and businesses in February 2023 to seek feedback on trash and recycling services in advance of the expiration of its contract with CWD.
The contract prohibits other companies from collecting and disposing of residential and commercial waste and recyclables within the city limits and allows for an annual market adjustment each April 1 based on the percent of increase in the annual Consumer Price Index for all Dallas Fort Worth urban consumers as published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Trash, recycling, household hazardous waste and yard waste collections are billed on residents’ monthly utility statements.
CWD began serving the city of Corinth in 2013. In the 11 years since, the company says the community has seen a 20 percent increase in single-family households, which it services with a growing number of compressed natural gas, or CNG, trucks.
“The use of our CNG trucks not only ensures cleaner operations but also contributes to quieter and eco-friendlier communities when compared with diesel refuse trucks,” CWD notes. “Our commitment to sustainability is evident in our fleet of over 200 CNG collection vehicles, significantly reducing emissions equivalent to taking approximately 2,200 cars off the road daily.”Latest from Recycling Today
