The 121 Regional Disposal Facility is expected to
meet the solid waste needs of the area served by
NTMWD for the next 40 years |
NTMWD provides solid waste disposal services for over 650,000 citizens
in five Member Cities and the residents of Collin County. The Solid Waste Member Cities are comprised of the cities of Allen, Frisco, McKinney,
Plano, and Richardson.
NTMWD owns and operates the 121 Regional Disposal Facility (RDF) utilized
by the Solid Waste Member Cities and Collin County. The 121 RDF is a component
of the North Central Texas Council of Governments Solid Waste Master Plan and
is expected to meet the solid waste needs of the area served by the NTMWD for
the next 40 years.
The NTMWD operates three transfer stations that serve as collection sites for
the commercial and household municipal waste collected within the Solid Waste
Member Cities. At each of the transfer stations, the municipal waste is loaded into
transfer trucks for transport by NTMWD vehicles to the landfill for safe and
proper disposal.
As a benefit to citizens of the NTMWD Solid Waste Member Cities, a Citizen’s
Convenience Center is available for disposal of materials twice monthly, free of
charge with proof of residency and a current water bill. In addition to available
access to a disposal area, NTMWD provides a collection site for used motor oil
and used oil filters.
 During the 2005-06 and 2006-07 Operations Years, NTMWD safely disposed
of over 699,000 tons and over 791,000 tons of commercial and municipal waste,
respectively. The NTMWD Solid Waste Member Cities accounted for 81% of the
tonnage disposed; outside customers, including private haulers, contributed the
remaining 19%. NTMWD encourages the recycling and waste reduction activities
that reduce the volume entering in the waste stream, thereby, prolonging the life
of the landfill.
Construction within the Solid Waste System totaled over $7.4 million with
improvements to the Custer Road Transfer Station, a new Citizens Convenience
Center at the 121 RDF, and the development of a composting operation site
located within the 121 RDF property.
