MASCARO WINS $10.5 MILLION CONTRACT TO SERVE SOUTH WHITEHALL TOWNSHIP, LEHIGH COUNTY

On December, 3, 2008, J.P. Mascaro & Sons was awarded a 5 year, $10.5 million contract to provide waste collection, recycling and disposal services for approximately 6,800 homes in South Whitehall Township, Lehigh County.

The newly awarded contract runs from January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2013, and there is a possibility of 5 additional option years upon agreement of the parties.  The contract will be performed out of Mascaro’s Allentown area operating division that serves municipalities and customers in the Lehigh Valley region.

What makes this contract different from others is that it is the first in Eastern Pennsylvania that will collect both waste and recyclables with fully automated collection vehicles that grab the waste/recycling container with a mechanical arm and deposit the container contents into the collection vehicle.

Also new to this contract is the implementation of a “single-stream recycling program” by the Township where all recyclables are placed together in one large container without sorting and where South Whitehall Township will receive back substantial revenue from the sale of its recyclables.

Speaking to the contract award, company president, Pat Mascaro, said:  “Our company greatly appreciates the contract award and we look forward to serving the Township residents.”  “South Whitehall Township provides its residents with a comprehensive all-inclusive waste management program and requires the use of sophisticated collection equipment and systems”, added Mascaro.  “We’re happy to be an integral part of the Township’s program.”

J.P. Mascaro & Sons serves thousands of customers in the municipal, commercial, institutional and industrial sectors and it has the resources, expertise, and facility infra-structure to meet the varying needs of all its customers.  For information about J.P.
