Mission gears up for change in trash collection provider, with WCA to take over Jan. 1

Be on the lookout, Mission residents: soon enough, garbage bins and trucks with a new logo will be on the streets.

WCA, a Houston-based waste management company, will start as Mission’s new solid waste collection provider starting Jan. 1, 2020. The city’s contract with Waste Management ends Dec. 31, and the city council recently chose to award a new contract to WCA after a competitive bid process.

“We’re looking forward to a relationship with WCA and being able to continue to provide comprehensive solid waste services to all of our residents,” City Administrator Laura Smith said.
