The North Central Regional Solid Waste Cooperative (NCRSWC) now known as MassToss was established on April 1, 2005 when the Commonwealth of Massachusetts made grant monies available to establish a regional waste cooperative. Several neighboring communities took advantage of this opportunity and joined together to form MassToss. The purpose of the cooperative is to provide group buying power and technical assistance to its member communities in all areas of solid waste handling including negotiate and facilitate waste related contracts such as recycling, collection, hauling and hazardous waste removal and transfer station contracts. Each member community pays an annual administrative assessment and evaluates annually whether or not the benefits outweigh the cost of membership. Grant applications and fee for service programs for member and non-member communities are being explored to off-set future administrative assessments. The cooperative has a director, Tessa David.
