Peru Recognized for Recycling SuccessBy Sandy Totter
Community Submission
10:30AM / Wednesday, January 28, 2009
PERU, Mass. — The town of Peru has received the Northern Berkshire Solid Waste Management District's 2008 Recognition Award.
Peter Loboda, Peru commissioner, accepted the award at the District's Jan. 9 meeting held at the Adams Town Hall.
Robert Bradley, the regional waste district's chairman, noted Peru's accomplishments. In 2008, it redesigned the transfer station layout, poured a much larger concrete pad and purchased a new trash compactor. Peru received a mercury collection shed through a grant from the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection and set a container for scrap-metal collection, increasing services to Peru residents.

Peru's new trash compactor |
The state benchmark for a successful recycling program is 165 pounds per capita recycled per year. In 2008, Peru recycled 180.71 pounds per capita, a 25 percent increase over the previous year, achieving the benchmark for the first time.
Program Coordinator Sandy Totter commended Peru Selectman Edward Richards and Department of Public Works Supervisor Ron Radwich for their investment and guidance in improving the solid waste services.
Loboda's work educating residents and promoting recycling was credited with bringing Peru's recycling program to the success mark. |
