MSW's staff were professional, responsive, and thorough in their efforts. Their ability to communicate effectively with all levels of the City government, including city management, public works management, legal counsel, union representatives, and operations staff, greatly enhanced the acceptance of their work. I would work with MSW Consultants again in the future, and highly recommend them to any local government needing to improve operations or cut unnecessary costs.

As a result of MSW Consultants' professional expertise and their ability to deal effectively with the general public and elected officials, Liberty County's solid waste financial performance has gone from an annual deficit of over $600,000 to a net annual surplus, placing the County on firm footing to plan and implement future program improvements to better serve our customers.

If you haven't had your waste sort yet let me assure you it is painless. Susan and Cynthia were here this morning, set up and quickly sorted the waste, tore down, cleaned up and were out in less than 90 minutes. All I had to do was open the door and let them in. I am looking forward to seeing the results!
- Jenny Kedward, Environmental Specialist - Dakota County
I want to thank you again for the excellent work you and your team provided on behalf of the Department in undertaking the Iowa Statewide Waste Characterization Study...I have received positive comments from Iowa's solid waste management community and the participating landfills and transfer stations in particular.

In a time of financial shortfalls and increasingly limited local disposal capacity, [MSW Consultants principal] John Culbertson provided us with an excellent overview of long term waste disposal options and performed the detailed analysis needed to create a system benefit charge that will place Frederick County's solid waste system on firm financial footing. Equally important, John helped us present the results of the analysis to the County Commissioners in a clear and concise manner.
- Robin Davidov, Executive Director, Northeast Maryland Waste Disposal Authority
With his extensive waste management industry expertise, [MSW Consultants President] Walt Davenport developed a methodology and implemented a system that has enabled us to equitably provide waste management and recycling access to tenants with an equitable charge-back structure across our twelve-mall portfolio. Walt clearly possesses the operational and financial know-how to solve out-of-the-ordinary waste management needs such as ours.
- Deb Tageson, Manager Retail Operations Manager, King of Prussia Mall (PA)
MSW Consultants was diligent in representing the County to ensure funds would be available for the next ten years to sustain County initiated integrated waste management programs. I highly recommend MSW Consultants...as the were very conscious of our needs and I trust they would be for any client.

The Township of Upper Dublin (Township) administers the procurement process for transfer station operations, hauling and single stream recyclables processing and marketing for the Montgomery County Consortium of Recycling Communities (Consortium). The Consortium is an association of seven (7) municipalities that collects curbside recyclables and delivers recyclables in packer trucks to the Consortium-owned transfer facility. The transfer facility operation, hauling, and recyclables processing services are provided under a long-term bundled contract with a private waste company that operates a single stream processing facility in the region. The previous procurement did not garner completion, two (2) consecutive contract extension increased contracted pricing by approximately 40 percent, and COVID-19 disrupted the waste and recycling industry. With the need to improve procurement processing in difficult circumstances, the Township contracted with MSW Consultants to develop procurement strategy, procurement documents and enforceable contracts for transfer station operation, hauling and recyclables processing. MSW Consultants provided these key strategic recommendation and outcomes: Unbundled the services to have separate contracts as a measure to improve completion, particularly for the processing and marketing of 16,000 tons of recyclables managed annually, released the recyclables processing request for proposals (RFP) first in order to identify processing locations in the subsequent hauling and transfer station operations procurement package, recommendation to form the Consortium as a legal entity and position itself to operate the transfer station as a measure to curb excessive costs driven up by the lack of competition in the private sector. MSW Consultants provided these key services and outcomes: The Consortium secured a competitive price and seven (7) year contract for recyclables processing with a nearby single stream processor which allowed the Consortium members to direct-haul recyclables and reduce transportation costs compared to proposed hauling costs. The Consortium rejected the extremely high-priced transfer station operations proposal and initiated a planning process to confirm the feasibility of operating the Consortium, which appears to be a long-term economically viable solution that will improve the overall performance of the transfer facility and Consortium's cooperative recycling program.
