Board of County Commissioners · 2026-09-15 · agenda_item

The Board of County Commissioners is reviewing a request to approve a new non-exclusive commercial franchise for FY2025-26 by American Brothers Haulers Inc. This item is currently pending and under review, meaning it is in the early stages of the public process. The franchise would allow the company to operate as a commercial hauler within Polk County. The scope of work for this project involves the operation of commercial waste hauling services, which would require vehicles, equipment, and ongoing maintenance. The likely phases include securing the franchise agreement, obtaining necessary permits, and then beginning collection routes. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers who could compete for related work include commercial vehicle maintenance and repair shops, equipment suppliers, and waste management service providers. Reaching out early, before the franchise is approved and operational plans are finalized, is the advantage for businesses looking to offer their services to American Brothers Haulers Inc. or to partner with them on this new venture.
