Ecowaste Industries Ltd. operates the Ecowaste Landfill under an Operational Certificate (OC) issued by the BC Ministry of Environment (MoE). One of the conditions in the OC imposes an annual tonnage limit. Construction and demolition (C&D) activity has been very brisk in 2015 and the company is rapidly approaching the company's annual limit. The c... ompany has applied to the MoE for approval to exceed the company's annual limit and they have granted an approval for a 10% variance. While this is helpful, this variance alone will not allow the company to remain in compliance with the company's annual tonnage limit at the current inbound rate. To that end the company is taking two approaches to help the company maintain the company's revised limit: Increasing pricing on material to the landfill by 15% on October 15, 2015 Implementing a cap on inbound C&D materials for larger customers Your business is important to the company and the company regret that the company will be increasing the company's tipping fees on non-recycled products or capping inbound material to help the company meet this limit. The company realize that this may cause you to look for other disposal options, however, the company will not exceed the annual limit specified in the company's Operational Certificate. The annual tonnage limit is tracked on a calendar year basis and is reset on January 1, 2016.Read More
