Orange County, Florida, has awarded FCC Environmental Services, subsidiary of FCC Servicios Medio Ambiente in the United States, the contract for residential solid waste collection in zones 4 and 5, the maximum number of zones possible. The contract is expected to last seven years and represents an order book value of 170 million dollars (156.9 million euros) and an investment of 32 million dollars (29.45 million euros). This contract represents the renewal of the trust that the County placed in the company in 2016, when it awarded it this service, which was its first residential collection contract in the USA. Same as the first contract, the service will be delivered with collection vehicles powered by Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) engines, a technology in which FCC is a pioneer in the USA and which highlights the concern of the county and the company for sustainability and a cleaner urban environment.

The contract, which will begin on 1st January 2026, will serve around 77,000 residential units, involves 100 local jobs and will have 75 lorries and auxiliary vehicles and the corresponding CNG refuelling station.
