City of Nashua, Public Works Division
Board of Public Works Meeting Date: September 20, 2018
David Boucher, Superintendent
Wastewater Department
Scrap metal recycling contract with Excel Recycling LLC, Freetown, MA
To approve a three year contract between the City of Nashua and Excel Recycling
for the recycling of scrap metal at the Wastewater Treatment Facility. Revenue
generated through this contract will be directed to: Department: 169 Wastewater;
Fund: Wastewater; Account Classification: 45 Miscellaneous Revenue
The Wastewater Department has been accumulating scrap metal consisting of
sewer manhole and catch basin castings that can no longer be used and out of
service equipment and old process piping no longer in use at the wastewater
facility. The Wastewater Department would like to have the metals removed
using the same scrap metal recycling company used by the Solid Waste
Department. The Solid Waste Department went out to bid for the contract earlier
this year and chose Excel Recycling from five vendors. The selection was
approved at the April 26, 2018 BPW Meeting.
The value of scrap metal being recycled will be based on the American Metals
Market price on #1 Heavy Melt Steel less $45 a ton for trucking. Estimated
annual revenue is $5,000 - $8,000 dollars.
