The City of Conroe has entered into a $76 million agreement with Frontier Waste Solutions, a Dallas-based company, for garbage collection services, transitioning from its existing provider, Waste Management.
The contract, which has been approved for a duration of five years and includes three one-year renewal options, is scheduled to commence in October.
The decision comes after a request for proposals was made in April, following Waste Management, the largest waste removal company in the nation, suggesting an extension of its current contract until 2030 with a 3.8% price increase.
Conroe's existing contract with Waste Management, initiated in October 2017, features a 1.9% automatic annual rate increase, capped at 5%.
Frontier's choice marks the beginning of a new era for the city's residential and small commercial waste services.
