Even though 2020 has been a difficult year for almost all businesses because of the COVID-19 situation, local waste service company J. P. Mascaro & Sons has had a very successful fourth quarter in one important respect – the award of competitively-bid municipal and governmental contracts.
During the most recent public bidding season, Mascaro has been awarded more than $200 million of municipal/governmental waste service contracts from 18 communities in Southeastern Pennsylvania, Northeastern Pennsylvania, and Northern New Jersey, for contract terms ranging between two and seven years. And Mascaro has the chance to be successful on several more competitively-bid municipal contracts before the end of the year.
Some of the contracts awarded to Mascaro include the Boroughs of Alburtis, Hellertown, Wyomissing, Birdsboro, Ambler, Rose Valley, Bristol, and Hughestown; the Townships of Hanover, Lower Pottsgrove, Muhlenberg, Wilkes-Barre, West Whiteland, Upper Dublin, and West Bradford; the Municipality of Norristown; Morris County, New Jersey; and the Delaware County Regional Water Authority.
Sam Augustine, the Mascaro company Director of Sales and Contract Procurement, said, "Our company's recent level of success in competitively-bid municipal contracts is a testament to our superb regional infrastructure, which includes numerous operating divisions, transfer stations, recycling centers, composting facilities, and modern sanitary landfills. Those contract awards are also a testament to our dedicated and seasoned upper management team and administrative staff, and to the hundreds of hardworking collection crew employees who man our vehicles and serve our customers each and every day."
Speaking to the recent contract awards, company President, Pat Mascaro, said, "It goes without saying that I am very pleased with the recent contract awards and the continued growth of our company. But what I am especially proud of is how our management and line employees have performed during this very difficult COVID-19 working year. Our collection crews have been subject to abnormal and significantly changed working conditions, with greatly increased waste streams because of the COVID-19 situation, and collectively they have made many personal sacrifices and demonstrated an extraordinary level of commitment in serving our customers."
Mascaro added, "It hasn't been an easy year for our staff, and our company has absorbed substantial additional costs, without any governmental assistance, in striving to keep our service level as close to normal as possible during these extraordinarily difficult times. I want to personally thank our dedicated employees and our many understanding customers, including those who recently awarded our company long-term contracts to serve their communities."
