Julia Greene is the Principal of BCLW Consulting, bringing over a decade of experience helping municipalities reduce waste. Before founding BCLW, she served as a Municipal Assistance Coordinator (MAC) for the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP), providing technical assistance to dozens of communities. In that role, she identified a gap in procurement and market analysis expertise available to municipalities—areas where she had deep experience.
Earlier in her career, Julia served as a warranted contracting officer for the federal government, a role requiring rigorous training and hands-on experience. She later earned certification as a Massachusetts Certified Public Purchasing Official (MCPPO) through the Massachusetts Inspector General’s Office. Julia also holds a Master in Public Administration from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government and has extensive experience in government, community engagement, and political organizing at all levels.
By combining expertise in waste systems, procurement, and public policy, Julia helps municipalities design effective trash, recycling, and food waste diversion programs through stronger contracts, ordinances, and operational practices.
Outside her consulting work, Julia teaches public speaking at the local community college and volunteers fighting invasive plants—when she’s not pedaling her bike around the North Shore.
