FUEL AND ENVIRONMENTAL SURCHARGE:
We have made investments in cleaner technologies, such as fuel efficient trucks, reducing our overall impact on the environment; however, fuel prices and environmental compliance-related costs are something we cannot control. The Fuel Surcharge allows us to recover the cost of diesel, natural gas and other hydrocarbon based fuels and products that we use in our overall business above a baseline cost. The fuel surcharge only helps us recover a small portion of fuel used. This charge helps us to keep up with the changing costs of diesel, natural gas and other hydrocarbon based fuels and products, and allows us to achieve the operating margin needed to maintain the high level of service that customers expect. Fuel surcharges are common in the transportation industry and are charged by other waste haulers, trucking companies and airline carriers. This rate will change from time to time.

The Environmental Charge is intended to cover our overall enterprise-wide costs to operate in a safe and environmentally responsible manner and to achieve an acceptable operating margin. Such environmental costs include, among other things, operating materials, engineering, testing and maintenance, disposal of used equipment, tires, batteries, oils and fluids and the monitoring and management of vehicle emissions. The Environmental Charge percentage will not fluctuate each month; however, the percentage may be changed periodically, at our discretion, if there is a business determination that warrants a change. This rate will change from time to time.

CASH PAYMENTS:
No change is given. We will estimate the waste disposal fees in our sole discretion and payment is required before we leave. Materials used on site (bags etc...) will be charged extra. No refunds given. We also require a 100% deposit upfront.

CASH OR ETRANSFER PAYMENTS:
