Collection All solid waste services typically originate with waste collection, whether at a single or multi-family residence, a commercial customer, an industrial location, a construction location or a special event. Composting The composting and reuse of green or yard waste and food waste are critical components for any community's march to a Zero Waste goal. We continue to increase our composting efforts through investments to expand capacity at existing operations and through the acquisition of new facilities. Transfer Solid waste transfer station operations represent an efficient, environmentally friendly methodology to receive, process, compact and transfer solid waste to larger vehicles for transport via truck, rail or barge to Company owned/or operated landfills, as well as third party landfills. Disposal Municipal solid waste landfills and construction/demolition landfills represent the most cost effective, environmentally safe methodology for the ultimate disposal of solid waste available today. Intermodal Intermodal logistics is the movement of containers using two or more modes of transportation, usually including a rail or truck segment. In November 2004, we entered the intermodal services business in the Pacific Northwest through the acquisition of Northwest Container Services, Inc., which provides repositioning, storage, maintenance and repair of cargo containers for international shipping companies. Recycling Waste Connections offers municipal, commercial, industrial and residential recycling services for a variety of recyclable materials, including cardboard, office paper, plastic containers, glass bottles and ferrous and aluminum metals. RecycleBank Through our partnership with RecycleBank, we have introduced a loyalty and rewards program in certain markets to efforts. With RecycleBank, customers earn points based on the weight of their recycled waste stream that can be redeemed for meaningful rewards. The rewards are obvious: waste minimization; savings to participating customers for monthly trash service, groceries, restaurants, etc.; and increased support of local merchants. Renewable Energy Solid waste landfills over time generate a greenhouse gas, ethane, which can be converted into a valuable source of clean energy. We deploy gas recovery systems to collect methane which is then used to generate electricity for local households, fuel local industrial plants, power alternative fueled vehicles,or qualify for carbon emission credits. |
