To approve the purchase of Recycling and Trash carts from Toter, Inc.
To approve the purchase of recycling and trash carts and cart lids for curbside

Toter Inc. has been the vendor supplying trash and recycling carts for the City of
Nashua since 2003 when the automated trash collection program started. The
curbside recycling program has grown immensely and the demands for recycling
carts are on the rise.
In October 2002 (RFP #0721-110802), a nine member committee comprised of
DPW, BPW, and Purchasing officials as well as a representative of the Board of
Aldermen and the general public interviewed prospective vendors and evaluated
their proposals. Toter Inc. was chosen and has been providing a quality product and
excellent service as well as honoring warranty claims presented.
