The Town of Wellesley has selected James Manzolini as the new Superintendent of the Recycling and Disposal Facility (RDF).
A long-time Department of Public Works employee, Manzolini has worked in the DPW's Engineering Division since 2013. He takes over for Jeff Azano-Brown who was promoted to the position of DPW Assistant Director earlier this year.
Manzolini has more than twelve years of civil engineering experience. He most recently served as civil engineer in charge of the Town's Street Occupancy Permit Program. Previously, he was the owner and director of operations for a private moving company.
He takes over the RDF during a challenging time for the recycling industry due to restrictions from China. However, the RDF’s source separated model ensures that Wellesley’s material continues to be recycled at a high rate.
As part of his new job, Manzolini will be working with Wellesley residents and the RDF team on efforts to continue to grow the Town’s successful recycling program.
