Norristown Municipal Council awarded local solid waste company, J. P. Mascaro
& Sons, a 5-year contract to provide trash and recycling collection services for 9,600
homes starting April 1.
In a recent comprehensive bid process, in which the largest national companies
participated, Mascaro submitted the most competitive bid, and Norristown Council
unanimously voted to accept that bid and award a 5-year contract.
The new contract starts on April 1, 2015; it is for a five years with additional
option years, and has a value of 11 million dollars. Under the new contract, the 9,600
Norristown homeowners will receive weekly curbside trash collection and single-stream
recyclable collection in two new 64 gallon toters provided by Mascaro. One toter will be
used for trash collection and the other toter to collect single-stream recycling. The new
toter system will raise Norristown’s recycling rates, reduce the amount of waste being
collected and give Norristown a unified more sanitary system come collection day. A
recycling incentive program is also being implemented which will benefit both
Norristown home owner and local participating businesses.
Speaking to the contract award, company President, Pat Mascaro, said: “The
Norristown contract is one our company has served for many years and we take pride in
this contract award. We look forward to continue serving the residents of Norristown.
This contract award exemplifies the total commitment of our work force and their efforts
in putting together one of the best operational infrastructures in the country.”
Mascaro will serve the Norristown contract from its Bridgeport, Pennsylvania
operating division. For more information about J. P. Mascaro & Sons and its services
