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 Casella Recycling, LLC in 2008 at the onset of
the City’s Single Stream Recycling Program. Casella has proven to be a highly qualified mentor in
helping the City develop its singie 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
terns include all hauling and processing of the recyclables that the City of Fall River collects ftom its
Automated Recycling Curbside Cart Program. Negotiations are always amicable with Casella
demonstrating a concem 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 circumstances and Casella
has been instrumental in creating viable aolutions to our issues. Communication ig excellent and service
top notch. Casella has welcomed City representatives, local school groups and city-related vendors to
tour their facility 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 whioh 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 Pall 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-
2585 or pacheco@ifaliriverma.org with any questions or concerns.
