PMUA Lands Bulk Waste Contract With South Plainfield
April 10, 2012- The Plainfield Municipal Utilities Authority has signed a contract with the Borough of South Plainfield in an effort to broaden the PMUA's customer base and generate more revenue. As of 4/10/12, South Plainfield DPW is bringing its Bulk Waste Material to the PERC/Transfer Station located on Rock Avenue for disposal.
Increasing revenue streams at the Authority by expanding outside of Plainfield has been discussed frequently to help maintain rates and off-set rising costs due to the current state of our economy. Committed to implementing this plan, the PMUA is succeeding to expand its services beyond the borders of the City.
“The Authority is pleased to service the DPW of South Plainfield and will continue to focus on generating business from outside of Plainfield. PMUA services can benefit surrounding communities and we look forward to establishing future partnerships such as the one with South Plainfield,” said PMUA Executive Director, Duane Young.
Increased Senior & Disability Discounts
January 11, 2012- PMUA is now providing deeper savings and facilitating a more streamlined application process for those who are eligible for our Senior Citizen or Disability service discount. As of the New Year, we have increased the discount to 15% and there will be no more forms to fill out! Eligibility will be based on the City of Plainfield’s requirements to receive a senior and/or disability tax break. Residents who meet these criteria will automatically be enrolled in our PMUA service discount program and will receive a letter from us confirming qualification for the program. (Senior Citizen discount and Disability discount may not be combined).
PMUA Gives Back
December 2011- In keeping with our commitment to community service, PMUA employees provided manpower and trucks to transport 100 bikes and several bags of toys to Plainfield High School this December that were given out during a holiday party to families in need.
PMUA assisted the Albanese Family (proprietor of Plainfield Dairy Queen), Day Break Community Development Corp. and Sara Cadogan of Young Men of Resilience who collected the items, refurbished donated bikes and organized the dinner and holiday party. Employees of the Authority joined many local businesses, the Rotary Club and several organizations giving time to make the holidays a little brighter to deserving families.
