  • US and State of Texas V. Allied Waste Industries, Inc
    UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS FORT WORTH DIVISION UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and Civil Action STATE OF TEXAS, No.: 497-CV 564 E Plaintiffs, v. ALLIED WASTE INDUSTRIES, INC. ' Defendant. COMPETITIVE IMPACT STATEMENT The United States, pursuant to Section 2(b) of the Antitrust Procedures and Penalties Act ("APPA"), 15 U.S.C. § 16(b)-(h), files this Competitive Impact Statement relating to the proposed Final Judgment submitted for entry in this civil antitrust proceeding. I. NATURE AND PURPOSE OF THE PROCEEDING On July 14, 1997, the United States filed a civil antitrust Complaint alleging that the proposed acquisition by Allied Waste Industries, Inc. ("Allied") of the Crow Landfill in Tarrant County, Texas from USA Waste Industries, Inc. ("USA Waste") would violate Section 7 of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. § 18. An Amended Complaint was filed on July 29, 1997. The Complaint alleges that Allied and USA Waste are two of only four competitors in the greater Tarrant County area that operate commercial landfills for the disposal of municipal solid waste ("MSW") generated in Tarrant County. If 'the acquisition were consummated, there would be only three operators competing to dispose of MSW generated in Tarrant County, and that loss of competition would likely result in consumers paying higher prices for waste disposal and hauling and receiving fewer or lesser quality services. MSW disposal is a service which involves the receiving of waste at landfills from haulers which have collected paper, food, construction material and other solid wastes from homes, businesses and industries, and transported that waste to a landfill.

  • Mead Johnson Announces Renewable-Energy Project
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: CarolAnn Hibbard, (508) 661-2264 [email protected] Mead Johnson Announces Renewable-Energy Project Mead Johnson Nutritionals today announced plans for an innovative project that will use landfill gas for energy at the company's manufacturing facility in Evansville. The gas will be captured at a local landfill, processed for use and transported by dedicated pipeline to Mead Johnson, where it will replace most of the company's use of natural gas. Landfill gas is a natural byproduct of the decomposition of organic materials in the landfill. Mead Johnson will work with Ameresco and Allied Waste Industries, Inc., to make this important project possible. Ameresco, which will own the system, will be responsible for designing, building, maintaining and operating it. The system will process the landfill gas into a useable fuel and then deliver it to Mead Johnson's facility via a dedicated pipeline. Allied Waste will provide the landfill gas from its Laubscher Meadows Landfill. Construction is expected to begin in June, and the process will be operational by early 2009. The project is the first of its type for Evansville and it utilizes a ""green"" technology that's been proven safe and reliable. ""Bristol-Myers Squibb and Mead Johnson are committed to environmental stewardship and sustainability around the world,"" said Mead Johnson President Steve Golsby. ""The natural gas usage eliminated through this project represents a shift from the use of fossil fuels to energy that comes from a renewable source," he added. "This is another great example of how we can be stewards of the environment and partner with businesses to achieve positive results,"" said Evansville Mayor Jonathan Weinzapfel.

  • Proposal for Franchise Solid Waste Services City of Goleta
    Proposal for Franchise Solid Waste Services City of Goleta March 15, 2018 On August 15, 2017 Council gave direction to bring back a proposal for a ten year solid waste contract extension within twelve months for consideration. In compliance with that request, MarBorg Industries is pleased to present the City of Goleta with a Proposal for a ten year extension to the Franchise Solid Waste Services Contract for the City of Goleta. MarBorg is a long-standing partner of the City of Goleta, and hopes to continue this relationship over the next decade as solid waste regulations and handling procedures within California and Santa Barbara County evolve. This proposal builds on the current franchise agreement, maintaining all services that benefit both the Goleta rate-payers and the City of Goleta, while providing enhancements for all parties as well. These contract enhancements include: Reduced Rates • Residential Rates will be reduced by 15% from current rates. • Multi-Family Rates for can & cart customers will be reduced by 15% from current rates. • Commercial and Multi-Family bin rates will be reduced by 5% from current rates. • All rate reductions are proposed be implemented July 1, 2018, allowing customers to enjoy rate reductions prior to the end of our current agreement in 2021. • These rate reductions will save City ratepayers over $2,000,000 through the next three years of our current contract period, and will continue to serve as a rate reduction throughout the extended ten year term saving customers another $7,000,000 from current rates. Increased City Recycling Education Payment • MarBorg Industries is currently paying $25,000 per year to a City recycling education fund.

  • A Pharmaceutical and Sharps Waste Compliance Service for Your Facilities
    A pharmaceutical and sharps waste compliance service for your facilities Hospital leaders know that often staff do not correctly segregate pharmaceutical waste from sharps waste. A comingled pharmaceutical and sharps waste compliance service introduced in the Pacific Northwest a year ago takes this drug waste and puts both waste streams into one container that can be in the patient room and that helps keep hospitals compliant. Only about five percent of most hospitals’ regulated medical waste streams are RCRA hazardous pharmaceuticals. This leaves the remaining 95 percent of most hospital formularies deemed Washington State Only Dangerous Pharmaceuticals (a.k.a. non- RCRA) to be managed by staff who want to do the right thing. First they must understand the importance of disposing non-RCRA drugs in a responsible place for proper processing, as Virginia Mason in Seattle does with approximately 2,000 drugs in its formulary. There is also the challenge of maintaining a safe work environment and being OSHA compliant with sharps disposal. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that are 385,000 healthcare worker (HCW) needlestick and sharps-related injuries annually in hospitals nationwide.1 Stericycle’s Rx Waste Comingle program enables staff to dispose of both non-RCRA pharmaceutical waste and sharps waste in one container. This makes it easy on staff to quickly dispose of both waste streams conveniently while in patient rooms and helps reduce needlestick injuries during disposal. Monthly comingle reports make it easy for healthcare leaders to track and budget for appropriately managing these two important waste streams. The comingle program being offered in the Pacific Northwest helps healthcare facilities increase regulatory compliance with The Joint Commission, EPA, DOT, OSHA and, specifically in the Pacific Northwest, the Department of Ecology.

  • Best Environmental Practices and Alternative Technologies for Medical Waste Management
    EIGHTH INTERNATIONAL WASTE MANAGEMENT CONGRESS AND EXHIBITION Institute of Waste Management of Southern Africa-Botswana Chapter 25TH to 28TH June 2007 Kasane, Botswana Best Environmental Practices and Alternative Technologies for Medical Waste Management Jorge Emmanuel, PhD, Lead Technical Consultant, United Nations Development Programme GEF Project on Health-Care Waste; President, The Environmental & Engineering Research Group; Adjunct Professor of Chemical Engineering, University of the Philippines, Diliman Abstract The spread of bloodborne pathogens in health-care waste motivated the World Health Organization to issue a policy in 2004 calling for the development of national policies, guidances, and plans for health-care waste management. The policy paper, however, also recognizes the risks associated with incineration, which in developing countries can be problematic due to the lack of capacity for emission testing or regulatory enforcement. The Stockholm Convention highlights the problem and requires the use of best environmental practices and best available techniques. Examples of best environmental practices, including segregation, waste minimization, handling, storage, and transport, are presented. The paper describes non-incineration alternative technologies including autoclaving, advanced steam systems, microwave treatment, and alkaline hydrolysis. For developing countries where sharps waste is a public health threat, for example, the use of reusable sharps containers, central autoclaving, post-treatment shredding, and recycling does away with single-use sharps containers and eliminates the need for landfilling. A Global Environmental Facility project will demonstrate and promote best practices and technologies in eight countries in order to virtually eliminate environmental releases of dioxins and mercury from health care. It will be a valuable tool for raising awareness and disseminating information on environmentally sound health-care waste management.

  • Health Care Waste Management Manual
    Department of Health Manila Foreword In these times of heightened environment consciousness, addressing the issue of proper health care waste disposal is of paramount concern not only for environmentalists or other members of the health sector but for the whole society as well, most especially for the agencies involved in the regulation of this very vital element. The Clean Air Act (CAA) of 1999 and the Ecological Solid Waste Management (ESWM) Act of 2000 which both push for reforms in the management of health care waste highlight the imperative to deal with this issue squarely. Thus, in order to widely disseminate the proper use of existing technology and knowledge on this particular concern, this revised Health Care Waste Management Manual was conceived and produced, in close collaboration with other government agencies, civil society, the academe and various professional groups. This Manual provides practical information regarding safe, efficient and environment-friendly waste management options. It also contains, in detail, safety procedures attendant to the collection, handling, storage, transport, treatment and disposal of health care waste. We hope that this will serve as a useful guide in the planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the Health Care Waste Management Programs of hospitals, health centers, laboratories, pharmaceutical firms, blood banks and other health-related establishments. With the dissemination and strict adherence to the measures contained herein, we aim to promote the health and welfare of our people and protect them from the risks and hazards of exposure to health care waste. MANUEL M. DAYRIT, M.D., MSc Secretary of Health Acknowledgements The Department of Health is deeply indebted and express sincere appreciation to Dr.

  • SHARPS, GLASS and TRASH Questions and Answers 1
    SHARPS, GLASS AND TRASH Questions and Answers 1. How do I determine what type of “sharps” waste needs special handling? Before you can decide how to properly dispose of “sharps”, you must understand the differences in the regulatory definitions of Sharps waste, Biohazardous waste and Medical waste. Do not assume that your waste is not medical waste just because you are not working in a medical clinic. Read the definitions below carefully and if you still need assistance feel free to contact EH&S for help. A. Sharps waste Means any device having acute ridged corners, edges, or protuberances capable of cutting or piercing, including, but not limited to all of the following: 1. Hypodermic needles 2. Syringes (with or with out the needle attached) 3. Blades 4. Broken glass B. Biohazardous waste Means any of the following: 1. Laboratory waste, including, but not limited to, all of the following: a. Human or animal specimen cultures from medical and pathology laboratories. b. Cultures and stocks of infectious agents from research laboratories. (Infectious agent - means a type of microorganism, bacteria, mold, parasite, or virus that normally causes, or significantly contributes to the cause of, increased morbidity or mortality of human beings.) c. Waste from the production of: i. bacteria, ii. viruses, iii. spores, iv. discarded live and attenuated vaccines used in human health care or research, v. discarded animal vaccines, including Brucellosis and contagious Ecthyma, and vi. culture dishes and devices used to transfer, inoculate, and mix cultures. 2. Human surgery specimens or tissues removed at surgery or autopsy, which are suspected of being contaminated with infectious agents known to be contagious to humans.
