Save That Stuff Tour

The Massachusetts Convention Center Authority (MCCA) and its partners from ABM had the opportunity to tour Save That Stuff in Charlestown, MA. Founded in 1990 by Erik Levy, Save That Stuff is a waste collection facility that offers an eco-friendly alternative to traditional waste disposal methods. Save That Stuff helps educational and governmental institutions like the MCCA uphold commitments to corporate social responsibility, sustainability, and cost control. The MCCA has worked with Save That Stuff for 10 years to reduce our convention centers’ recyclable waste. In a typical year, the MCCA recycles an average of 774 tons between the Hynes and the BCEC with Save That Stuff!

Probe into Convention Authority's IT process finds agency followed protocol

A new report on the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority's record-keeping, public records retention and data collection process has found that the authority followed appropriate technical protocol.

 

The audit was launched in response to a Massachusetts Senate investigation.

 

The authority’s practices related to device destruction and document retention came under scrutiny after the Senate Post Audit and Oversight Committee on Dec. 5 sent a letter asking the MCCA to explain its process and decisions in 2023 related to destruction of some devices amid two investigations, one from the state auditor, that were ongoing at that time.

Testimonial

“There’s nothing more rewarding to me than seeing a city-kid on a boat for the first time — smiling, confident, and amazed after catching their first fish. To keep our program running, we rely on the generosity and support of programs like the MCCA’s Community Partnership Grants. Their commitment to community programs, particularly youth programs, makes our small operation and all those smiles possible.”
