American Waste Control has been awarded an exclusive multi-million dollar recycling contract by the Trash Board in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Up to six waste companies had been competing for a 10 year contract valued at over $150 million to be Tulsa's next disposal, recycling and collection hauler. American Waste said that it had won the recycling processing contract while the contract for collection is still pending and disposal was awarded to another company.

American Waste says it's well prepared to begin expanding recycling operations for Tulsa and is looking forward to serving its new customers once the collection process begins.

The facility was officially launched in March 2011 with the expectation of increasing Tulsa's recycling rates and reducing area landfills. The company said that today the facility is enabling the city to recycle more products , including plastics, aluminium, cardboard, and paper.

"We know our Mr. Murph is one of the most innovative machines created to tackle our growing waste problems," said Tom Hill, CEO of TRT. "Our new contract with Tulsa means we can be even more effective as we provide brand new customers with the very best in recycling services in Oklahoma."

The company said that it now has 40 Mr. Murph drop off sites throughout Tulsa.
