The City of Fall River began its relationship with Casella Recycling, LLC in 2008 at the onset of

helping the City develop its single stream recycling program and increase its recycling efforts. Casella
has negotiated two (2) contracts with the City of Fall River to date (2009-2011 and 2011-2013). Contract
terms include all hauling and processing of the recyclables that the City of Pall River collects from its
Automated Recycling Curbside Cart Program. Nogotiations are always amicable with Casella
demonstrating a concem for how they can iraplement procedures and practices that would benefit all
parties fairly. Most recently Casella has saved the City $50,000.00 th transportation costs to its Aubum,

MA Material Recovery Facility.

Over the course of time the City has been faced with some unforeseen circumstances and Casella

has been instrumental in creating viable solutions to our issues, Cororounication is excellent and service

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 average

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 also provides roll-off recycling containers at a City drop-off

recycling center.

Our experience with Casella has been excellent. The recycling collection 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 Auburm, 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,

1 can be reached at 508-799-1430 or at fiorer@worcesterma.gov for any questions conceming the
City of Worcester's experience with Casella Waste Systems.

Sincerely,

ON THE QUESTION

Finance Committee Page 2
June 1, 2016

Alderman O’Brien

This is evidently replacing something that is broken | take it?
Mr. Kooken

| think it is still functioning but it’s somewhat obsolete.

Alderman Siegel

| was just going to add that they are scanning microfilms so they can preserve them before they decay. This
piece of equipment is helpful for that.

ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Cookson

| followed up with some questions this afternoon to the purchasing manager and | copied you as well as a few
other folks with regard to the questions that | did have. The one question | had about this particular contract is
| asked if there were any additional expenses associated with this particular contract and the response that |
received back was no, there were not; that it was capped at $20,000; however within the contract itself it does
identify that there will be anchors that will be placed so that none of the artwork is moved or harmed. | am
curious with regard to that aspect of the contract, what do we anticipate the city to contribute toward the
preservation of this artwork and the anchoring of and therefore?

Mayor Donchess

| think that Mr. Kooken may have a view as well but this is similar to the contract that we have with the same
organization regarding the temporary sculptures that are now on Main Street. This is the same contract from
last year. | think the nature of the artworks at this point that would be developed pursuant to this contract and
they are usually developed in concert with various schools and other youth organizations. It is not determined
yet although | think they are talking about a group of table’s kind of focusing on family’s eating together and the
tradition of that. They are thinking about locating tables at various locations throughout the downtown, similar
in a way to the pianos but | don’t think that’s a given. | think that Mr. Kooken in his response was correct in
that there is no actual cash that has to be laid out but certainly public works could be involved in helping to
secure these and that is a cost although it’s hard to estimate what it would be.

Alderman Cookson

So we just don’t know yet?
