JRM’s Collection Role Ipswich awards JRM their trash/recycling
collection contract in 2010. JRM owns recyclables but agreed to pay
the Town a small rebate for all its recycling tonnage.
From the beginning, JRM told the Town they would use a split-body collection truck and sort single-stream recyclables into dual stream if presented as such or easily sorted at the curb.

Ipswich’s Role Ipswich and its 9-member Recycling
Advisory Committee are very proactive on educating its residents about waste reduction and recycling right.
Their one-barrel trash limit is strictly enforced by JRM and backed up by Town Hall.
Non-compliant recycling or trash is stickered and left at the curb by JRM (manual collection makes this easy).

Ipswich’s Role, cont’d. The Town operates a free Recycling and Yard
Waste Drop-off open 2 days a week. Mercury waste can also be brought to the Drop-
off. Button-cell batteries are collected all year at
several locations in town, including Town Hall. In addition, the Town’s Recycling Committee puts
on 3 zero-waste events a year. The Town and Recycling Committee also offer
weekly (private-pay) food-waste collection for $1 per week per household (470 to date).

JRM’s Processing Role In Winter 2015, JRM opened
GreenWorks, a state-of-the-art, single-stream MRF in Peabody.
75% of the material coming into the MRF is dual stream. Of the 17 municipalities JRM serves, most remain dual-stream recycling and all are manually collected, making it easier to spot contamination.

JRM’s Processing Role, cont’d. GreenWorks positively sorts out glass first,
making it the only MA single-stream MRF whose glass goes directly to Strategic Materials* (glass recycler).
With the glass out, all of the other commodities are cleaner – especially paper.
JRM reports that they have no challenges selling their fiber (paper) bales.
