Harris County Commissioners Court is voting on a $773,850 landfill services contract covering brush, debris, and recycling disposal starting July 2026.
Harris County Commissioners Court is voting on a one-year landfill services contract worth $773,850, starting July 9, 2026. The primary vendor is GFL Environmental (Waste Corporation of Texas), with Waste Management of Texas as a backup. The contract covers disposal of Type IV solid waste — including brush, construction debris, and rubbish — plus recycling materials, for Harris County and the Harris County Flood Control District. Up to four one-year renewals are possible.
Harris County pays a private company to haul and dump yard waste, construction debris, and rubbish from county and flood control operations. This vote sets who does that job and at what price for the next year.
