Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery wins post-collection contract with RecycleSmart

CONCORD, CA (Nov. 25, 2024) — In a competitive, months-long bidding process Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery (“MDRR”) prevailed as the winner of a 20-year contract with the Central Contra Costa Solid Waste Authority (RecycleSmart) for the transfer of garbage and organics, and a new 15-year contract for processing recyclable items. The new agreements will go into effect in March 2027.  MDRR currently processes RecycleSmart’s recyclables, while transferring its garbage and organics will be new services.

“We are proud to expand our partnership with RecycleSmart and deepen our shared commitment to providing best-in-class recycling services to our customers,” said MDRR CEO Kish Rajan. “Given our cutting-edge approach to materials management, the expansion of our relationship clearly demonstrates RecycleSmart’s dedication to protecting the environment and doing what is best for the community while reinforcing MDRR’s company mantra that we are Trusted + Proven + Essential.”

RecycleSmart oversees waste management services – including garbage, recycling, and organics – for the cities of Walnut Creek, Lafayette, and Orinda, the towns of Danville and Moraga, and adjacent unincorporated areas of Contra Costa County, including Alamo, Blackhawk, Diablo, and Tassajara.

Winning this contract is a significant milestone for MDRR, both as a testament to the company’s decades of hard work and exemplary customer service and as a catalyst for the growth of its resource recovery facility, which is dedicated to maximizing the diversion of discarded material away from landfills.
