Circular economy infrastructure operator, Circular Services, has commenced construction on a $61 million state-of-the-art materials recovery facility (MRF) in Frisco, Texas. The 120,000-square-foot facility aims to enhance recycling capabilities in the rapidly growing North Texas region.
High-tech sustainability: The facility will incorporate advanced sorting technologies to maximize recovery rates and maintain high-quality standards. Sustainability features include energy-efficient designs with solar panels, passive lighting, native landscaping, and electric vehicle charging stations.
Long-term vision: Joaquin Mariel, Circular Services’ Chief Commercial Officer, says the project represents a major step forward for recycling infrastructure in North Texas. “We have been working on this for more than a decade, recognizing both the opportunity and the need for enhanced recycling infrastructure in the region,” Mariel said. “By integrating the latest innovations in recycling technology with a strong focus on employee wellbeing and community engagement, we are dedicated to making this facility a model for sustainability and efficiency.”
Responding to growth: The location of the facility was chosen so it could serve multiple communities, including Frisco and McKinney. The MRF is designed to process single-stream recyclables, addressing the area’s increasing waste management needs due to significant population and business growth. It will create approximately 53 full-time jobs and include a drop-off center for residents to recycle materials not accepted in the curbside program.
