Project Overview

McKinney, Texas, is unique by nature. As one of the fastest-growing cities in America, McKinney has a current population of nearly 200,000 and serves as the county seat for Collin County. Just 30 miles north of Downtown Dallas, McKinney offers award-winning schools, a vibrant historic downtown, and cultural district, diverse housing options, a trendy culinary scene, and a uniquely beautiful natural setting with rolling hills and lush trees. The City of McKinney developed a vision for a new solid waste management strategy with sustainable recommendations for its solid waste and resource recovery activities over the next 20 years. The process evaluated the City’s current policies, programs, and services for trash and recycling. Potential strategies and goals were identified to meet the most critical needs identified by the City.

The City of McKinney contracted Future iQ and the consultancy firm Burns & McDonnell to collaborate on this project to facilitate the development of the Solid Waste Management Strategy for the City.
