Restrooms for a Family Reunion

Have a family reunion scheduled for the summer? Then you might be expecting a few very special guests of all sorts of ages. Some of them may even rely on a walking cane, wheelchair or walker to help them get around. Well, wouldn’t it be nice to offer your beloved elderly family members the convenience of having a luxury toilet rental for their immediate access? Or better yet, a ADA handi-cap unit with spacious interiors designed for easier maneuverability? They will appreciate you for going out of your way to make sure that they are not only comfortable, but also safe as well. After all, there is a reason why you are the most favorite grandchild in the family.

Festivals and Events of Special Nature

Now we understand that there may be some instances here you are expecting such a large crowd of people (we’re talking in the hundreds, or even thousands) that you don’t necessarily want to provide such a nice luxury to every single person attending.

Not only is it unnecessary, but let’s face it. If everyone had access to a luxury toilet rental at a large event or show, that they wouldn’t be considered luxurious for long at all! When a large crowd of people comes together, they are usually gathering to see an individual of special importance, or a group of popular stature. Perhaps a public speaker, a musical artist, or a personality of celebrity status. You wouldn’t want to give them just any old ordinary porta potty, would you? Heavens no! You want to give them a nice, clean, private luxury porta potty to enjoy all to themselves. What a great way to say thank you for attending! Not only will you make a great impression, but they may also like it so much that they agree to return in the future for another event!

So regardless of the nature of your special event, having access to luxury portable bathrooms certainly has its perks for both you, and your guests. People will absolutely love and appreciate the efforts you went to in order to give them a nice amenity at your disclosure. They will remember those wonderful porta potty restrooms for many years to come!

If you would like more information about our luxury toilet rentals, or to check availability for the future, please give us a call today. We are here to help you make your event a memorable one!

A roll-off is a usually open top dumpster characterized by a rectangular footprint, utilizing wheels to facilitate rolling the dumpster in place. The container is designed to be transported by special roll-off trucks. Roll-offs are commonly used to contain loads of construction and demolition waste or other waste types. While most roll-off containers have a swinging door on the end for easier disposal of waste, some roll-off containers are not open top and are used with commercial or industrial trash compactors.

Construction debris may originate from a building site where something is being built, renovated, or demolished. Roll-off dumpsters are also used for various jobs that need much material to be taken away. The material in the roll-off may be taken to a landfill, recycled or disposed/recovered of in some other way.

Did you know that flight attends are garbage men and women too? Just think about it……. They bring you your snacks drinks on a rolling cart during the flight. As your flight is coming to an end they start their routine route of picking up the garbage and recycle in those tiny small plastic bags. Its really amazing how hard they work having to dodge passengers poking at them, ringing the bell, and most importantly trying to maneuver down a tiny pathway in a closterfobic environment 10,000 feet above the earth. The next time you go on a flight try to think again before you give them a hard time.

In special meetings held yesterday, shareholders of Toronto-based Progressive Waste Solutions and The Woodlands, Texas-based Waste Connections approved the previously announced plan of merger between the two firms. The deal is now expected to close on June 1.

Under the plan, originally announced in January, Progressive Waste, Water Merger Sub LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Progressive Waste, and Waste Connections, Inc., a Delaware corporation will merge with Waste Connections continuing as the surviving corporation. The deal is valued around $2.7 billion. The two companies posted more than $4 billion in revenues in 2015. They rank fifth and sixth on the current Waste360 Top 100. After the tie-up, the combined entity will rank third.

A transaction resolution received support from approximately 99.47 percent of the votes cast at Progressive’s meeting. A similar one received more than 99 percent of votes cast at Waste Connection’s meeting.

The combined company is made up of 273 collection operations, 132 transfer stations, 93 landfills, 71 recycling facilities in solid waste and 24 SWD wells and 20 E&P treatment facilities, according to Stifel Managing Director Michael E. Hoffman.

Progressive shareholders also passed a resolution approving a consolidation of the outstanding Progressive shares on the basis of one Progressive share on a post-Consolidation basis for every 2.076843 Progressive Shares outstanding on a pre-Consolidation basis. This resolution also received support from 99.47 percent of the votes cast at Progressive’s meeting..

Upon completion of the merger, Waste Connections stockholders will receive 2.076843 Progressive shares for each share of Waste Connections common stock. Immediately after completion of the merger, every 2.076843 Progressive shares will be converted into one Progressive share.

After the merger and consolidation, Waste Connections stockholders will receive one post-consolidation Progressive Share for each share of Waste Connections common stock held immediately prior to the merger.

Upon completion of the merger, Waste Connections stockholders will own approximately 70 percent of the combined company and Progressive shareholders will own approximately 30 percent of the combined company.

The combined company will use the Waste Connections name and its shares are expected to trade on the New York Stock Exchange and on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “WCN.”

Hoffman reiterated his “buy” rating on Waste Connections in a research note, writing “The initial SG&A synergy goal in the first twelve months is $50mm with some upside expected. There has been a general assumption and some discussion about operational synergies with a focus on safety, maintenance & repairs and labor and productivity. We believe these efforts could contribute up to $75mm over three years. In addition we look for the NewCo to drive more price leverage in the US operations from BIN.”

How can I do my part to recycle in the City of Aurora, CO when renting a dumpster?

The residents of Aurora utilize private companies for trash collection and recycling. Some companies do provide curbside collection for recyclables while others do not.

There are two city-owned drop off facilities for recycling which homeowners have access too and should use if their private residential hauler does not pick up recycled material. The drop off sites require separation of the materials as the city believes this produces less contamination than single-stream recycling.

The Two Recycling Drop-off Facilities

• Central Facilities Center
• Saddle Rock Golf Maintenance Center

For more information on other recycled goods such as drop offs for donated items, electronics, appliances, bulb and chemical recycling, please browse Recycling Opportunities in Aurora, CO. Single stream recycling is still available at the Denver Arapahoe Disposal Site (DADS).

More tips for renting a dumpster in Aurora, CO

TIP: Work with a locally owned and operated dumpster service, which is almost always the cheapest way to rent a dumpster.  Avoid the most expensive rental options:

1. Very large, national companies like Waste Management are more expensive than smaller, local companies.  We compared Home-city dumpster rentals buddies to locally operated companies in 48 metro areas and found WM was over $100 more expensive, on average.
2. There are a lot of brokers in the dumpster business.  Some, like Arwood Waste, are reputable. Many others are not.  Brokers are an out-of-state middleman that books the dumpster at a higher rate than the local going rate, takes a cut, and passes the order on to a local hauler for the delivery and pickup.  They aren’t local and don’t actually own any dumpsters, though some pretend as if they do.  Worse, some claim to be “A hometown supplier of dumpster rentals to only gain for their best interest in a lead referral fee” dumpster companies that have lower prices… which is almost always false.

This story is part of the Curious Cbus project. You ask the questions, you vote on one of the questions, and we answer. To ask your question, visit wosu.org/curious. The first question came from Jon Hsu:

Listen Listening…3:58
A city garbage truck prowls through a Clintonville alley. The driver stops amid blue and green trash containers and picks up the green ones using the truck’s mechanical arm. He empties those 90-gallon containers into his truck.

A few blocks away, a two-man crew lifts an outdated, giant-screen TV from the curb and throws it into the back of their truck where it’s crushed.

The Landfill

The trash in the two trucks is headed to the SWACO landfill near Grove City. About 500 trucks carry trash collected from all over Franklin County through the landfill’s gates 5 days a week. They head to the top of an ever-rising mountain of refuse and each day leave 4,200 tons of trash behind.
Shilo Pletcher is the landfill’s supervisor.

“Roughly 500 trucks a day … 4,000 tons a day. We’re sitting on 180 acres,” Pletcher says.

That’s a million tons of trash buried at the landfill every year. Less than half of the trash that’s buried here comes from residential customers; the majority comes from commercial users.

SWACO says the landfill has more than two decades of capacity left. But it would last longer, they say, if more people recycled.

“Anywhere from 60- to 70 percent of the trash that comes into the landfill could be repurposed, reused, recycled.”

SWACO Executive Director Ty Marsh.

“Not only would that be better for extending the life of the landfill and for environmental purposes but there’s also economic value in doing that,” Marsh says.

The Recycling Center

That’s where those blue containers come in. They hold recyclable trash that’s picked up by the Rumpke Co., every other week. Crews take the refuse to the company’s sorting facility near the state fairgrounds. Rumpke spokeswoman Taylor Greely guides me through the building.
CREDIT SAM HENDREN / 89.7 NPR NEWS
“The area we’re in right now is the sorting and separating phase of this process,” Greely says.

In the early days of recycling, residents had to separate items themselves before disposal. Now it’s done by Rumpke at their Fields Ave. facility.

“We’re using stuff like infrared light; 2500 feet of interconnected conveyor belt; large industrial magnets and then once we have all those items back into their individual categories then we’ll bale them into bales and we’ll ship them off to regional manufacturers where they’ll be turned back into new products,” Greely says.
As much as 80,000 pounds of material is sorted per hour. All sorts of cans, plastic bottles, glass containers, cardboard cartons and paper fly by on high speed conveyors and eventually end up at the baler. What can’t be recycled – plastic bags and videotape, for instance – is pulled out and sent to the landfill.

The troubling truth, however: Columbus residents recycle on a very small portion of their trash. Just 42,000 tons were recycled in 2015; a million tons were buried.
“So with your automatic sorting here there’s no excuse for people not to recycle, is there?”

“I agree. It’s very simple to recycle. We have curbside recycling and the materials are being sorted and separated and put back to use right close to home,” Greely says.

And that’s what happens to your trash.
