DocumentCenter · Meeting of June 25, 2026
North Reading Select Board reviewed Casella waste services contract; approximately 90 percent negotiated. Director of Public Works Joseph Parisi presented details of weekly automated curbside collection using 96-gallon and 64-gallon carts, continued metal and bulky item collection, and seasonal services with an estimated annual cost of $1,868,690. Town Counsel Matthew Feher reported that Casella accepted the town's contract language and removed labor disputes and governmental actions from force majeure provisions, a substantial victory given the town's previous experience with Republic Services.
Outstanding issues include the annual escalation floor, fuel adjustment baseline, and pass-through cost framework, with Feher indicating remaining issues expected to be resolved quickly.
