MASCARO $135 MILLION CONTRACT AWARD RESULTS IN 10% INCREASE IN COMPANY WORKFORCE AND OPENING OF TWO NEW DIVISIONS

Before the new year, local solid waste company J. P. Mascaro & Sons had about 750 employees. It will have about 10% more when it starts its five-year, $135 million contract with Morris County, New Jersey on January 28, 2013, to operate two county-owned waste transfer stations and to transport and dispose of all waste delivered to those facilities, approximately 400,000 tons per year.

With the new contract, which is one of the largest waste service contracts on the east coast, comes 65 new Mascaro Company jobs for CDL truck drivers, yard jockey drivers, heavy equipment operators, diesel mechanics, laborers and management personnel for the two new operating divisions that Mascaro will open to service the Morris County contract.

The first operating division will be in Dunmore, Pennsylvania, just outside of Scranton near the Keystone Landfill where Morris County waste will be disposed. This division will house and maintain the 27 new over-the-road trucks and 68 new waste transport trailers that Mascaro has purchased for the Morris County contract at a cost of about $7 million. The CDL drivers for these vehicles are largely being hired in the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area and will earn a base salary between $47,000 and $54,000.

The second operating division will be in Morris County, New Jersey, where the two county transfer stations are located. The new Mascaro employees at this division will have complete responsibility for the operation and maintenance of the county transfer stations and for the loading, tarping and staging of waste transport vehicles at those facilities. These new Mascaro employees will perform their transfer station duties with over $2 million of new “yellow equipment” (i.e., front-end loaders, excavators, sweepers, yard trucks, etc.) that Mascaro has purchased for the Morris County contract.

Company President, Pat Mascaro, said, “Our company is thrilled to have been awarded a competitively bid waste service contract of this magnitude and to be able to create and fill 65 new quality jobs at a time when many other companies and industries are downsizing rather than expanding their workforces.”

J. P. Mascaro & Sons, founded and headquartered in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, is one of the largest privately-owned waste service companies in the country and is an industry leader. For more information about the company, its facilities and services, visit its website at www.jpmascaro.com.
