years,

Our scope of services has not changed and we still provide the same level of accepted
and unacceptable materials. (please see attached list). The transportation of the
recyclables will be performed by Casella Recycling, LLC at the cost indicated on the bid
sheet. Our equipment is state of the art processing equipment that is capable of handling

equipment brand is largely CP Manufacturing with a Harris baler and a Bollegraf baler.
Casella bas operated this single stream plant for about 10 years, running two shifts a day

Casella will continue to market the city recyclables in the most efficient possible way.
We will continue to seek the best possible outlets and pricing the market will allow.

RE: CASELLA WASTE SYSTEMS ~ RECYCLING & PROCESSING SERVICES
FOR THE CITY OF WORCESTER, MA.

To Whom It May Concern:

The City of Worcester is the second largest city in New England and has a population of over
182,000 residents. Worcester began a Pay-As-You-Throw solid waste collection and curbside
recycling program in 1993 that servers over 52,000 households each week and has an averape
curbside recycling collection rate of over 32%,

In July 1, 2008, the City of Worcester chose Casella Waste Systems for a curbside recycling
collection and single-stream processing contract. Casella collects from over $2,000 households
and drives over 500 miles of City streets every week, collects from multiple municipal department
buildings and fire stations and aiso provides roll-off recycling containers at a City drop-off
recycling center, ;

Our experience with Casella has been excellent. The recycling coilection vehicles are always clean
and well kept. The drivers/collectors are neat in appearance and polite and the collection routes
are finished on time, The supervisors are hands on and management is always responsive to
inquiries.

Casella’s Material Recovery Facility (MRF) in Aubum, MA has enabled Worcester to be one of
the first communities to offer single-stream recycling collection. Residents find single-stream
recycling an easy and convenient way to recycle and there has been an increase in recycling
because of this, We also use the MRF as an educational tool and are encouraged to arrange for
tours of the facility by the City Schools and other organizations.

| can be reached at 508-799-1430 of at Roren@warcestecma.pov for any questions concerning the
City of Worcester's experience with Casella Waste Systems

RE: Casella Recycling, LLC
24 Bunker Hill Park
Charlestown, MA 02129

To whom it may concern:

The City of Fall River began its relationship with Cascila Recycling, LLC in 2008 at the onset of
the City’s Single Stream Recycling Program. Casella has proven to be & highly qualified mentor in
helping the City develop its single stream recycling prograra and increase its recycling efforts. Casella
has negotiated two (2) contracts with the City of Fall River to date (2009-2011 and 2011-201 3). Contract
terms include all hauling and processing of the recyclables that the City of Fall River collects from its
Automated Recycling Curbside Cart Program. Negotiations are always amicable with Casella
demonstrating a concern for how they can implement procedures and practices that would benefit all
parties fairly. Most recently Casella has saved the City $50,000.00 in transportation costs to its Aubum,

MA Material Recovery Facility.

Over the course of time the City has been faced with some unforeseen circumstences and Casella
has been instrumental in creating viable solutions to our issues. Communication is excellent and service
top notch, Casella has welcomed City representatives, local school groups and city-related vendors to
tour their fecility providing an experience and education that is highly resourceful to our community.
Time is valuable and Casella is always willing to share this commodity with enthusiasm. Casella exhibits
commitment to improving communities and protecting resources which reflects in their service and desire
to assist the City of Fall River in its accomplishment of increasing recycling collection from an average of
180 tons per month to as high as 490 tons per month.

I welcome the opportunity to elaborate on the relationship between the City of Fall River
Massachusetts and Casella Recycling, LLC. The experience has been positive and beneficial with
assisting the Cily in meeting its responsibilities to the community. Feel free to contact me at (508)324

Respectfilly,
