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.”

Working day to day with the professionals in the municipal and commercial markets has been rewarding, while continuing to strive to bring a timely and effective quality to our work. We sincerely appreciate all of our customers now, and the ones that will come in the future. Corcoran Environmental Services is please to present a few letters, out of the many we have received over the years, which confirms our efforts and commitment to our customers.

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."

District Administrator

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
