Circular Services Launches State-of-the-Art Recycling Facility in Frisco, TX
On April 20, 2026, Circular Services proudly inaugurated its newest materials recovery facility (MRF) in Frisco, Texas, marking a significant advance in recycling infrastructure for the Dallas Metroplex. Covering an impressive 120,000 square feet and costing $61 million, this facility is designed to serve the communities of McKinney, Frisco, and the broader Dallas-Fort Worth area. The grand opening ceremony, held on April 16, 2026, was a celebration attended by local elected officials, including McKinney Mayor Bill Cox and Frisco's Assistant Director of Public Works, Jeremy Starritt.
During the ceremony, Ron Gonen, CEO of Circular Services, emphasized the importance of wise resource management, particularly in a rapidly growing region like North Texas. He stated, "By capturing valuable materials that would otherwise cost taxpayers to landfill, we save the community landfill disposal costs and generate revenue for our municipal and commercial partners."
Facility Highlights
The Frisco MRF will primarily process single-stream recyclables collected from residents and businesses, focusing on maximizing recovery rates and directing materials to domestic markets. The facility is equipped with cutting-edge technology, including advanced optical sorters and an innovative glass cleanup system. Additionally, its energy-efficient design aims not only to support the region's growing population but also to serve as an aesthetically pleasing resource for the community.
Local leaders are optimistic about the positive impact of the facility on sustainability efforts. Mayor Bill Cox of McKinney announced, "We are proud to partner with Circular Services to advance a more sustainable future for our city and the region." The facility represents a shared commitment to environmental stewardship and aims to strengthen recycling initiatives across North Texas.
Jeremy Starritt from the City of Frisco echoed this sentiment, highlighting that this MRF is the first phase of a new Environmental Campus that will include a transfer station and collection center. He noted that the partnership with Circular Services marked a significant milestone for both the community and local businesses, fostering enhanced recycling efforts and reducing landfill dependency.
Job Creation and Long-Term Goals
The new facility is projected to create around 35 full-time jobs in the local area, playing a critical role in helping the region to meet its waste diversion objectives. Circular Services, alongside its partners KDW and CP Group, is eager to demonstrate the potential benefits of investing in recycling infrastructure in Texas.
Joaquin Mariel, President of Circular Services, expressed pride in the project, which has been over a decade in the making. "With roots in Dallas since the 1990s, we remain committed to advancing North Texas' circular economy."
