8. Here’s what you
need to know:

9. All food waste must be source-
separated ... no non-compostables.
COMPOSTING
YES
COMPOSTING

10. We do not offer curbside or cart
collection. Only roll-off box and
tractor-trailer loads.
40-ton minimum
charge per load.

11. This means if you bring us less than 40
tons, you will still be billed for 40 tons.

12. We are happy to work with self-haul
customers, as well as third-party
haulers offering curbside collection
services,
IF ...

13. The transport vehicle is
commercially licensed.

14. The driver is
CDL-licensed and
wears a hard hat
and safety vest
while on site.

15. The transport vehicle can safely
tip the load into our receiving pit
without human intervention, i.e.,
no shoveling or manual dumping
of containers

16. If your loads are too small
to make direct hauling
economical,

17. contact your city or county
recycling coordinator for
names of independent
contractors providing cart
or container pick-up
services for compostables.

18. Here are 3 things
we need to know
to provide a quote:

19. 1. What are the estimated tons per
year by waste type and volume?
Don’t know?
View the SlideShare title:
Estimating volumes for composting.

20. 2. Do you want the quote to include
trailer or roll-off box rental and/or
transportation by McGill?

21. 3. If you want us to transport, what is
the pick-up location?

22. Your McGill account rep may also ask for a
recent TCLP or other lab report if the load
will include industrial or
special wastes.

23. Important tip:

24. If you want to ensure acceptance
of your food waste, always include a
healthy dollop of participant
education in your
diversion plan
to eliminate
non-compostable
contaminants.
