rently depressed recycling markets more cautiously.
“We are excited about adding these new communities to our growing list of recycling customers and we are committed to remaining at the forefront of waste recycling and reuse,” Joseph P. Mascaro, director of sustainability for J.P. Mascaro, said in the release.
Beginning Jan. 1, 2020, Mascaro will begin serving Whitemarsh Township in Montgomery County with two comprehensive five year waste service contracts valued at more than $10 million. It is one of the largest municipal contracts in the region, according to Pat Mascaro. The first contract is for the collection, transportation and disposal of township residential waste, while the second is for the curbside collection, transportation and processing of single stream household recyclables. “We are particularly pleased that the township has decided to move away from incineration of its waste and instead has chosen to have its residential waste disposed of at our modern, company-affiliated Pioneer Crossing Landfill in nearby Berks County,” Mascaro added. Whitemarsh had previously sent its waste to the Covanta Incinerator in Plymouth Township. Under the awarded contracts, township residents will receive once a week trash and recycling services, with the recyclables collected in 64 gallon contractor-provided totes, and taken to Mascaro’s TotalRecycle facility in Exeter Township, Berks County for processing and marketing. Under the new contract, yard waste will also be collected weekly between April and December.
