J.P. Mascaro & Sons ‘doubling down’ on recycling

By

Audubon-based J. P. Mascaro & Sons has increased the company’s employee awareness program for the coronavirus health crisis.

As many major waste industry players move in directions limiting the customers options related to recycling, local family owned and operated waste removal company, J. P. Mascaro & Sons, is “doubling down.”

Mascaro in recent years completed construction of a “cutting edge” $20,000,000 recycling plant in Birdsboro, Pennsylvania.  The plant handles a “broad based” list of commodities with some of the most advanced and sophisticated equipment available in the industry. 

Recently, Mascaro was selected as a partner in an innovated recycling project with the Materials Recovery for the Future (MRFF) to recover flexible plastic packaging (FPP) presently not being recycled.  The project is a multi-million-dollar endeavor and its intent is to create a market for a recyclable product (i.e. R-Flex) and at the same time improve the overall quality of other recyclable products making them easier to find ultimate destinations to be recovered and reused.

Mascaro recently announced it will be constructing an additional 50,000 square foot building equipped with major recycling equipment adjacent to the Total Recycle complex in Birdsboro.  The project is to commence in the Spring of 2019 and be completed by the Spring of 2020 upon completion of this building, Mascaro’s recycling network in Birdsboro will consist of a total of 160,000 square feet of buildings.

J. P. Mascaro Sr., Director of Sustainability for Mascaro, said, our company is committed to recycling despite the obstacles presented by the China ban as well as depressed commodity markets, our company has achieved throughout the years by not accepting the status quo and looking “outside the box” for solutions.  We feel confident that adding to our company owned and operated infrastructure will place our company in a position to serve our customers over the long term.  In business, cost vs. benefit drives most decisions but the element of social consciousness and awareness and our finite resources must be also taken into account when considering recycling decisions.

 Starting out as a one truck operation in 1964, today J. P. Mascaro & Sons owns and operates its own landfills, transfer stations, recycling facilities and compost centers, and it has a fleet of over 400 collection and transportation vehicles.  Mascaro is a private company that has the experience, personnel, resources and infrastructure to compete very successfully with the large national public companies, but that also has the dedication and commitment of a private local business.
