Local waste company, J. P. Mascaro & Sons, has been the winner of many large waste
contracts from municipalities over the years, but its recent award of a five-year, $135 million
contract with Morris County, New Jersey is in a different league.
The Morris County contract, one of the largest waste service contracts on the east coast,
has been performed by industry giant Waste Management, Inc. for the last 20 years. Starting
January 28, 2013, it will now be performed by Mascaro, who was the successful bidder among
the eight companies competitively vying for this premium contract.
Under the contract awarded by the Morris County Municipal Utilities Authority, Mascaro
will be responsible for the operation of two county-owned transfer stations and for the
transportation and disposal of all waste delivered to those facilities, which is about 400,000 tons
per year.
Company President, Pat Mascaro, said, “This is a blue ribbon contract that many
companies desired and that we were fortunate enough to win. Our company has all the
infrastructure, equipment and expertise to provide Morris County with the highest quality
services and we can’t wait to get started.”
Mascaro added, “This is an extremely gratifying business win for our company. We
worked hard to secure the contract award, and the fact that we did is a testament to the quality
and caliber of our upper management team and our overall business network.”
To perform the contract, Mascaro is hiring 65 new employees and has purchased 27 new
over-the-road trucks and 68 new waste transport trailers, as well as $2 million of “yellow
equipment” to operate the county’s two transfer stations. Additionally, the company will be
opening two new operational divisions to handle the contract; one in Morris County, New Jersey
and the other in Dunmore, Pennsylvania near the Keystone Landfill where the Morris County
waste will be disposed. For many years, Mascaro and Keystone have had strong business ties.
“This contract by reason of its size, location and prestige will give our already successful
business a tremendous boost, and for years to come it will solidify our northeastern Pennsylvania
operations, as well as open the door for many additional business opportunities in central and
northern New Jersey,” said Pat Mascaro.
Mascaro added, “With our many existing contracts and customers, with the addition of
this Morris County contract and with the planned development and construction of our new
single-stream waste recycling center in Berks County adjacent to the company’s Pioneer
Crossing Landfill, 2013 looks to be a very busy and productive year for J. P. Mascaro & Sons.”
