Company Wants a New Shot

El Campo city leaders are gearing up to revisit their garbage contract, and a hometown business wants a seat at the table. Jim Jack Phillips with Trust Waste Solutions urged the council for a chance to submit a proposal, noting his company’s deep local roots. The city’s current trash service is handled by Texas Disposal Systems, which took over in ’21 after beating out TWS of Wharton and longtime provider Waste Connections. TDS drew early complaints about stricter bulk pickup rules and limited brush service, issues that may now resurface in the discussion.
