FCC Servicios Medio Ambiente launches the Omaha contract and reinforces its presence in the USA with new contracts

On 30 November, FCC Environmental Services (US subsidiary of FCC Servicios Medio Ambiente) began providing solid urban waste collection, pruning and clean point management services in the city of Omaha, Nebraska. The new contract represents a portfolio of more than 500 million dollars for a period of up to 20 years.

In order to assist the city's 466.000 inhabitants, the company will provide the service with a fleet of 69 trucks powered by Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), with the important benefits of reducing the environmental impact and carbon footprint in the city. In addition to its important volume, the contract has a special strategic importance for FCC, since it will serve as a development pole for its future expansion in the Midwest.

Furthermore, FCC Environmental Services continues to consolidate its presence in the US market, as it has been awarded the new contract for the final management of recyclable waste in the same city of Omaha and a contract for the collection of waste from public facilities in Volusia County (Florida) for a period of five years. The company already has more than 600 vehicles, around 800 employees and serves more than eight million Americans, with a signed contract portfolio exceeding $2 billion.

In the last months, FCC Servicios Medio Ambiente, which serves nearly 60 million people in 12 countries, has achieved significant success both in Spain, where it has been awarded the tenders of Segovia and A Coruña and has renewed the contract with the city of Oviedo, and internationally. In the United States, FCC Environmental Services' Material Recover Facility (MRF) in Houston (Texas), has received the "Best Recycling Facility in the United States 2020" award by the National Waste and Recycling Association (NWRA). In the United Kingdom, FCC Environment has been awarded the contract for the management of all the Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRC’-s) in the Mid and East Kent area. It has also recently closed an agreement with the Danish fund Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) to develop in Lostock one of the largest waste-to-energy facilities in Europe, with a throughput of 600,000 tons per year. With it, a total treatment capacity of 3.2 million tons per year and a power of 360 MWe of non-fossil energy will be achieved.
