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!

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.

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.

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.

The City of Casselberry had an exclusive residential waste and recycling collection contract, but non-exclusive franchises for commercial collection. With ten haulers operating under non-exclusive franchises, the City had found the system to be administratively burdensome and a challenge for code enforcement to effectively manage. MSW Consultants performed an analysis of the non-exclusive franchise system to quantify the costs, administrative oversight, and environmental impacts of the non-exclusive system compared to an exclusive commercial collection franchise. The analysis also evaluated impacts to the current hauling community within the market dynamics in the Central Florida region. Based on the analysis performed, the City opted to migrate to an exclusive commercial franchise to improve rates to its businesses and reduce truck traffic and air emissions. MSW Consultants supported the Procurement process by drafting technical specifications and pricing forms, attending associated meetings, drafting answers to submitted questions, supported evaluation and transition planning, and crossover to the awarded exclusive collector.
