Dallas is a great city, a blend of cultures and
lifestyles and one of the most diverse desti-
nations to discover and experiment. With a
population of 1,258,000 people, it is a des-
tination of many opportunities, from shop-
ping, to excellent cuisine and great cultural
potential with a large choice of museums in
its metropolitan area, leisure areas, parks,
and urban spaces to enjoy nature.
Also, according to the Resonancy Consul-
tancy Report, Dallas is ranks as one of the
best cities in the United States for business
and leisure and, in the recent years, has be-
come the number one destination in Texas
thanks to the celebration of major events,
the fact that it is easily accessible since it
has two major airports, and the new urban
projects.

On 2 January, FCC opened operations at
the plant to handle all recycable waste from
the Texan city. The 15-year contract, which
could be extended for another 10 years,
was awarded to the Citizen Services Group
at the end of 2015. Backlog for the Dallas
plant is estimated at around 270 million eu-
ros (300 million dollars).
The facility will be processing 120,000
tonnes of waste a year applying the most
state-of-the art sorting and classification
techniques, including optic sorters and gra-
vimetric sorting machines.
All of the waste collected in the single re-
cycling container will be sorted into different
categories. It will recycle and give thou-
sands of tonnes of paper, cardboard, glass,
plastic and metals produced by the citizens
of Dallas, back to the market, thereby fo-
llowing the circular economy principles.
Work was executed according to schedule
and includes the construction of the main
building housing the automatic waste sor-
ting plant featuring the most advanced te-
chnology in the industry, as well as two ad-
jacent facilities: the office building, dressing
rooms, visitor’s centre, and a workshop for
mobile machinery.
