February 2006 | NH City Approves Recycling
Contract
Recycling Today Magazine - Wednesday, February
22, 2006
Corcoran Environmental Services Inc. of Kennebunk, Maine, and
Pinard Waste Systems of Manchester, N.H., have been awarded a multi-year
recycling and yard waste contract with the City of Manchester, N.H.
The agreement extends 10 years with eight additional five-year
options for renewal. The intent of the long-term contract, according
to Joanne McLaughlin, recycling superintendent for the City of Manchester,
is to increase residential recycling in Manchester and to create
a customer friendly program.
“When the city put out the Request For Proposal (RFP) we
asked for an innovative system that would increase recycling participation
with the goal of diverting more recyclable materials from the waste
stream,” says McLaughlin. “Corcoran came out with an
exceptional plan that will eventually switch the city to a much
more user-friendly recycling program.”
As part of the agreement, Pinard Waste Systems of Manchester will
provide the curbside recycling services. “Having Pinard Waste,
a local company that started its business in the Manchester area
more than 40 years ago, facilitating this new recycling program
is very exciting,” says McLaughlin. “Pinard [provides]
an immediate connection for us. We’re dealing with folks locally,
not on a regional or national level. They’ve committed a dedicated
staff and dedicated trucks exclusively for this program.”
The agreement also states that within the next three years Corcoran
will design, construct and operate a Materials Recovery Facility
(MRF) at a residential drop-off location in Manchester. “Once
the MRF is built, the city will shift to a single-stream recycling
effort,” adds McLaughlin. “Single-stream allows residents
to place all recyclables, paper, plastics, metal and glass in one
recycle [container]. The MRF facility has the ability to sort the
materials so that residents won’t have to.”
Remarks Patrick Corcoran, president of Corcoran Environmental Services
Inc., “The City of Manchester invites and supports innovation,
and they’ve developed a recycling plan with an eye toward
the future. This agreement will take the city in a totally new direction
than they’ve been in the last 10 years.”
Currently the recycling participation rate in the Queen City is
roughly 47 percent, says McLaughlin. “That's low to average,”
he remarks. “The bi-weekly recycling collection program we
had was too confusing. Residents would put their trash out each
week and their recyclables out the next week but on a different
day than their trash collection. It was crazy. But as of March 1,
2006, this new, easy-to-use program will now allow residents to
put all their trash and recyclables out on the same day.”
Several new revenue streams will also be realized as part of the
recycling contract, city officials predict. “With the new
MRF, with every ton that’s taken into this new facility, the
city will receive a host fee,” says McLaughlin. “The
city will also collect part of the revenue from the sale of all
recycled materials that are processed there.”
Additionally, Corcoran Environmental will
also pay a ground lease for the MRF operation. “The long and
the short of it is recycling pays,” states McLaughlin. “It’s
good for the environment and it’s good for our pocketbooks.
The more we recycle the more money we get in return and the more
we’ll save in disposal fees. The money that’s saved
will go back into the general fund. This is all revenue that the
city was not getting. The savings will be reflected in everyone’s
tax bill.”

Northeast Kingdom Waste Management District
"The Northeast Kingdom Waste Management District Has utilized
the services of Corcoran Environmental Services, Inc. for over four
years. They have served, almost exclusively, as our broker for processed
recyclables. During our relationship with Corcoran Environmental
Services we have periodically explored using other service providers,
but have found Corcoran Environmental to be more timely and responsive
than the competition. The Corcoran Environmental staff is among
the most knowledgeable in the industry. They have assisted us in
many endeavors beyond normal brokerage services.
Perhaps more important than providing consistently high quality
service, Corcoran Environmental has always been responsive to our
financial needs. They continually offer commodity pricing that exceeds
most other firms.
Corcoran Environmental Services truly understands the needs of
their customers and the ever-changing market conditions associated
with this industry. I highly recommend Corcoran Environmental Services,
Inc. to anyone seeking brokerage services for processed recyclables
and/or waste."
Most sincerely,
Paul A. Tomasi
Executive Director

B.C.E.P. Solid Waste District
Barnstead-Chichester-Epsom-Pittsfield
"On March 7, 2004 we received a request from Patrick Corcoran
of Corcoran Environmental Services, Inc. for a candid assessment
of the services Corcoran environmental has provided to BCEP Solid
Waste District, a four town district with a population of approximately
16,000, and with an aggressive, mandatory, recycling program.
BECP has used the brokerage services of Corcoran Environmental
since the formation of the company in the movement of baled recyclables
to market. We have found Corcoran Environmental to be consistently
reliable in the timely movement of baled recyclables and in most
cases slightly better in the price offered by others. BCEP solicits
quotations for each load of materials to be sold from multiple brokers.
Patrick Corcoran has also been creative over the years in acting
as an advocate in helping different municipalities work together
to improve recycling. As an instance, when the Town of Littleton,
NH’s transfer station was lost to fire. Patrick arranged for
loose materials to be shipped to our site where they were baled
for a fee. This allowed Littleton to continue their recycling program
as they rebuilt their transfer station.
In conclusion we would recommend that anyone in this industry talk
with Corcoran Environmental Services to see what enhancements can
be made to most any recycling program."

Nestle Waters
Poland Spring
"This is a recommendation for Patrick Corcoran and Corcoran
Environmental Services, Inc. The Poland Spring plant in Hollis Maine
has been working with Corcoran Environmental Services for nearly
to three years. We started working with Patrick on the purchase
of boxes that could be sold for reuse. In 2004 we went out to bid
on our recycling not only in our Hollis facility, but a sister facility
in Poland Spring and a warehouse in Seabrook, NH. All the facilities
were familiar with Corcoran Environmental Services due to their
assisting in meeting needs that another recycler could not meet.
We signed a regional agreement with Corcoran, who was the most
competitive. Since then, I have not had a single complaint from
any of the facilities in regards to service, or compensation. In
addition, we are working with Corcoran on a regional brochure that
will explain our recycling (an effort that has been lead largely
by Corcoran), and we continue to look at ways in which we can improve
recycling."
Sincerely,
Tamara Risser
Regional Safety and Environmental Manager
