As most of you probably know, this project started in the summer of 2019 and this two-year landfill excavation will keep about 30 people and 25-30 machines busy moving nearly 3 million cubic yards of material.
I don't know about you, but thinking about 3 million cubic yards is hard to picture! Here are a couple of fun ways to put it into perspective:

Keep up the great work team!

Do you know all of your coworkers? Chances are, probably not! With so many of us spread out across job sites, we wanted to make it a little easier to get to know each other. Look for an employee spotlight in every newsletter!

PAMELA BROWN
Haul Truck Operator
|
|
It's a family affair for Pam and her husband Don, who both work at Casella Construction. Before she worked for us, Pam used to stop by the Coventry landfill to see Don and thought the landfill operation, with all the equipment, was interesting. She decided that she too wanted to work for Casella Construction, and applied for the haul truck operator position!
Pam is well-known for her pleasant nature and great attitude.

As we continue to be vigilant with the safety measures we put in place in response to the coronavirus, it is important to keep in mind other risks that come with the Spring season, including the dreaded tick season.

Our communities have been through a fair share of tough times, but the one constant has always been the way we support each other through difficult times.
A health care worker stopped by the Mendon office recently to give us a heartfelt thank-you. She travels north to get to work every day and said the last thing she sees is our encouraging message boards and star shining bright, and it is the first thing she sees as she returns to Rutland. She said these messages were inspiring to keep pushing through these tough times. She was very grateful for these messages and for the community coming together, and wanted to share how much it meant to her.
We will get through this together!
