Explaining a complex landfill project to an emotional audience, much less securing an informed consensus, was impossible, said Phil Carter, Waste Industries' Regional Manager.

Company officials concluded that the atmosphere of the meeting of County Commissioners would be no different and was unlikely to result in a favorable hearing or a decision based on facts and merits of the proposal.

The Company believes that the facts supporting approval of the site are compelling in that it would :.

* use a remote location, with good proximity to waste stream and excellent.

Allied Waste Industries Number 2 But Trying Harder

In an analysis of waste service industries, recently performed by the New York Times, Allied Waste was deemed to now be the second largest player in the industry, behind Waste Management.The integration of Browning Ferris Industries (BFI), by Allied, was a complex and difficult task that had Allied stumbling for a while.Allied is now reorganizing and divesting some of its holdings, particularly non-core activities that belonged to BFI, as it completes the difficult integration.This is much the same way that their leading competitor, Waste Management has spun off or sold all of its international holdings so they could concentrate on waste hauling and disposal in the United States.

Allied Waste is now reducing its debt and starting to put out more realistic projections and hit the numbers.

The agreement does not appear to prohibit the siting of an incinerator on the Moncure tract, but a Waste Industries regional manager, Phil Carter, said the firm isn't interested in going into that business.

Incineration is not in our thought process, Carter said.They're too expensive and too hard to permit..

Carter added that the company is interested in getting into the recycling business at Moncure, perhaps by building a type of facility solid waste managers term a materials recovery facility..

The phrase describes a warehouse-like building that offers workers a place to sort and store recyclable goods like bottles and paper.

Carter stressed that Waste Industries doesn't have any firm plans for such an operation at Moncure yet, and probably won't start working on any until it gets the landfill business off the ground.

But the agreement gives the company an incentive to move on the idea by specifying that it will retain all the money collected from the sale of recycled materials.

More incentive would come if the Triangle region's governments show interest in the idea.

It's a volume-based thing, Carter said.You need large amounts [ of materials ] to make it economically happen.
