City of Nashua, Public Works Division
Board of Public Works Meeting Date: May 23, 2019
Jeff Lafleur, Superintendent of Solid Waste
Single Stream Recycling Contract
To approve Amendment #1 for a one year extension to the contract with Caselia
Recycling LLC of Charlestown, MA for the transportation and processing of the
City’s single stream recyclables for an amount not to exceed $400,000 pending
approval of the FY20 operating budget. Funding through Department 168 Solid
Waste; Fund: Solid Waste; Account Classification: 55 Other Contracted Services.
Markets for recycling in general have plummeted and are showing no sign of
recovery in the near future. The City’s contract for recycling ends on June 30, 2019,
therefore the City of Nashua needed to secure a vendor. The Solid Waste
Superintendent opied to solicit bids for a one-year contract and re-evaluate market
conditions next spring.
The Solid Waste Department has worked with Caseila Recycling for five years and
their strength in today’s difficult market conditions leads us to recommend that the
FY20 one-year renewal contract for Single Stream recycling be awarded io Caselia
of the amount not to exceed $400,000 pending FY26 budget approval.
