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!

Commuters to get new ferry route from North Station to Seaport

Commuters bound for Boston’s Seaport will soon have a new way to complete their trips when the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority launches a new ferry route to the Raymond L. Flynn Marine Park, on the Seaport’s outer edge, from North Station.

 

The Boston Planning & Development Agency board last week approved an agreement with the MCCA to use a dock at what’s known as Pier 10, essentially a small waterfront park at the eastern end of Drydock Avenue. Ferries would take roughly 30 minutes to travel between Lovejoy Wharf, near North Station, and the new dock; the service would augment two existing MCCA ferries from Lovejoy to Fan Pier, at the western end of the Seaport area, on the edge of downtown. The ferries, which run year round, are expected to start their extended route to the Ray Flynn park starting on June 2.

 

The MCCA plans to keep departures at Lovejoy to every 20 minutes, by bringing a third boat into the mix. All three ferries would stop at all three locations: Lovejoy Wharf, Fan Pier, and Pier 10. (Bay State Cruise Co. operates the boats on behalf of the MCCA, as well as a fourth ferry that goes back and forth between East Boston and Fan Pier.)
