Business Journal
researchers call a wide variety of waste processing and disposal
operations throughout the US and Canada to gather detailed data
about their operations.
In addition
to answering questions about who owns and operates the
facility, we want to know what types of waste are accepted,
how much and what price is charged for their
acceptance. Furthermore, we ask and compile data on the types
of equipment employed in the processing of the waste,
recovery of materials and in pollution control.

| Among
the many types of facilities for which we compile data: |
| • |
Landfills |
| • |
Construction
and Demolition Landfills |
| • |
Materials
Recovery Facilities (MRFs) |
| • |
Waste-to-Energy
(Burn) Plants (W-T-E) |
| • |
Transfer
Stations |
| • |
Special
waste processing facilities |
