Operations

The company’s operations consist of the collection, transfer, processing, and disposal of solid waste.

Collection Services

In commercial collection operations, the company supplies its customers with waste containers of various types and sizes. These containers are designed so that they can be lifted mechanically and emptied into a collection truck to be transported to a disposal facility. By using these containers, the company can service most of commercial customers with trucks operated by a single employee. Residential solid waste collection services often are performed under contracts with municipalities. Additionally, the company rents waste containers and provides collection services to construction, demolition and industrial sites. It loads the containers onto its vehicles and transports them with the waste to either a landfill or a transfer station for disposal.

Transfer and Disposal Services

The company, in areas where it conducts collection operations remote from one of its landfills, often pursues the acquisition or development of transfer stations. Transfer stations allow the company to consolidate waste for subsequent transfer in larger loads, thereby making disposal in its otherwise remote landfills economically feasible. The waste is unloaded from the collection trucks and reloaded onto larger transfer trucks for transportation to a landfill for final disposal.

Sales and Marketing

The company targets potential customers of various sizes, from small quantity generators to large companies and municipalities. It is party to contracts with municipalities and other associations and agencies.
