Creating Better Contracts for your Community

BCLW Consulting helps municipal governments get better value from their curbside hauling contracts. We handle the full procurement process—from defining deliverables and drafting scopes of work and RFPs to supporting contract negotiations and setting up systems for contract administration.  With deep industry knowledge and local market insight, we also provide data-driven tools like market analysis and recycling composition audits to help cities and towns make smart, sustainable decisions that also bring cost savings.

Our clients include mayors, town and city managers, city councils, select boards, DPW directors, and Board of Health agents seeking strategic improvements to their municipally provided trash, recycling, composting, and other diversion services.
