LA Late News: Bill Massa – Synagro Undercover Boss Tackles Dirtiest Mission Ever 03/27/11

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Synagro CEO Bill Massa is in a mess on tonight’s Undercover Boss. Bill Massa heads into a 2.2 million gallon tank of sludge to clean a facility as CBS’s Sunday Undercover Boss. Massa has to clean the sludge, separate waters from solids at centrifuge, and cleanup a lagoon as well.

While previous Undercover Bosses have gotten into a mess as their identifies were almost revealed, tonight Massa has to clean the mess, literally. Massa heads Synagro which “provides a system of solutions for civic and commercial organizations that manages byproducts to create new, environmentally compelling options” says the company in a news statement. Synagro reduces the effects of byproducts on environment by converting them into renewable energy and reusable goods.

“At Synagro, we take pride not only in our work but also in our people and the communities in which we work,” said Massa in a news statement this week. “Participating on ‘Undercover Boss’ was an eye-opener as it allowed me to get involved in every aspect of Synagro’s services and physically help convert waste into resources that directly benefit people and the environment. It was a humbling experience – one that allowed me to better appreciate the many pieces that go into assuring our Company’s leading position in waste conversion.”

Massa tells news that Undercover Boss revealed the commitment of his workforce and the desire of his employees to improve others’ lives. “My colleagues on the show inspired me with their dedication and passion for what they do” said Massa. “From business operations to safety standards, Synagro is steadfastly committed to excellence, and we encourage our employees to tap into their own passions and view our company as a means to foster that growth and interest. I am honored to work alongside these men and women and offer them additional opportunities to help make a difference in their lives.”

Synagro explains to news that its “reliable, lasting system transforms industrial and municipal waste into environmentally-sustainable resources that benefit our communities and our planet – before an environmental footprint is left behind.”

How dirty does Massa’s job get? CBS calls it “the series’ dirtiest mission to date”. The tank Massa will get into has sludge twenty-seven years old.
