Community Waste Disposal reports nearly 1,100 tons recycled, details MRF upgrade and new services

Community Waste Disposal (CWD) presented a year‑in‑review to the Trophy Club Town Council on May 26, reporting service metrics, new programs and capital investments since taking the town contract.

Jason Rmmer, introduced himself as CWD’s president and said trash collection is twice weekly with optional 95‑gallon recycling carts for a fee; about 800 residents have upgraded carts. He reported that Trophy Club residents recycled roughly 1,100 tons over the prior 12 months and that early contract transition months showed higher inquiries and grievances that later declined to normal levels.

Rmmer described several resident programs: a door‑to‑door household hazardous waste pickup available up to once per month (residents receive a kit to label and set out items), a child passenger‑safety technician program, a hands‑on CPR outreach partnership, and a leaf‑recycling program run in coordination with neighboring cities that collected nearly 200,000 pounds (about 100 tons) for composting at a regional facility.

On infrastructure, Rmmer said CWD completed a $20 million bond in 2024 to expand compressed‑natural‑gas truck parking and a transfer station, and completed an automated material recovery facility (MRF) upgrade April 20 that added optical sorting and AI systems. The company also broke ground on an expanded maintenance facility and said council and staff were welcome to tour the MRF later in the year.

Wanda Smith, municipal coordinator with CWD, summarized resident engagement programs, community events and the company’s recycling relief fund contribution, and noted the company’s charitable and school partnerships.
