Just
recently, Lower Merion Township, Montgomery County, awarded local waste service
company, J. P. Mascaro & Sons, a one year contract with options for three
additional years, to transport, process and market all of the Township’s
commingled recyclables.
Starting
in January 2018, Mascaro will transport the recyclables from the Township-owned
transfer station to Mascaro’s modern, fully-automated, 85,000 sq. ft. single
stream recycling facility, TotalRecycle, in Exeter Township, Berks County. Once there, the recyclables will be processed
and marketed for end-use.
Lower
Merion joins the growing list of municipalities whose recyclables are handled
by Mascaro and processed at TotalRecycle.
It is estimated that Lower Merion will generate 2,600 tons of
recyclables annually.
Opened
in 2016, Mascaro’s TotalRecycle facility has the latest single stream recycling
automated technology that results in the “highest quality” of end-use
recyclables for marketing.
The
TotalRecycle facility is managed by Joseph P. Mascaro, the son of Mascaro
company President, Pat Mascaro. Under
his leadership, TotalRecycle processed over 1 million pounds of recyclables in
its first year of operation, and significantly more than that in 2017.
Speaking
to his TotalRecycle facility operation, Joseph Mascaro said, “Our facility is one
of the premier single stream recycling facilities in Pennsylvania, and we
welcome the opportunity to process and market Lower Merion Township’s
recyclables.”
Founded
and headquartered in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, J. P. Mascaro & Sons,
a privately-owned and family-operated company, is a fully-integrated waste
service company and a leader in the industry.
