Most commercial and industrial customers are provided with containers that are designed to be lifted mechanically and either emptied into a collection vehicle s compaction hopper or, in the case of the large roll-off containers, to be loaded onto the collection vehicle. We provide environmentally responsible and affordable municipal waste solutions. We possess the experience and resources to provide our customers with superior service that helps communities achieve their sustain ability goals. We operate transfer stations which are located near many of our collection routes and which receive the non-hazardous solid waste that has been collected by our own and third-party collection vehicles. These transfer stations receive materials and then safely and costeffectively consolidate and transport it to a designated facility. We own or operate landfills. These operations are designed to meet the highest standards of environmental protection while effectively disposing of non-recyclable, non-hazardous solid waste that cannot be diverted. Our facilities are staffed by experienced operators who employ the most modern landfill operating techniques and procedures. Our recycling services include collection of recyclable materials from commercial, industrial and residential customers, for which we charge collection and processing fees. Each day, our facilities receive and process a wide variety of recyclable materials including cardboard, glass, plastic containers, office paper and newsprint. We have invested in landfill gas-to-energy technologies which convert methane gas produced in a landfill to electricity or natural gas. Conversion of methane makes a positive contrib ution to renewable energy production. Our operations produce more electrical power annually than the energy contained in more than 200,000 barrels of oil.
