Madison’s longtime recycling contractor recently tapped a new leader and may soon get a new five-year contract with the city. Pellitteri Waste Systems has partnered with the city to provide single-stream, curbside recycling since 2012. The city collects recyclables, then Pellitteri sorts and recycles that material.
Last year, the Madison-based company promoted its vice president of finance and development, David Pellitteri, to become president. The company is family-owned and says it serves 44 communities across the region.
With Pellitteri’s Madison contract set to expire next year, the city is weighing this year whether to stay with Pellitteri or seek another recycling partner. The city currently pays Pellitteri a per-ton fee for disposing of its recyclables and receives payment from Pellitteri based on the value of recyclables after sale.
