Good morning,
For your information, Waste Management is shutting down their MRF processing plants – the Butte
County materials will be coming to NRRWF until we get past the COVID-19 concerns.
We are not concerned at the point about landfill capacity – this additional volume should just be a
minor increase in RFID equipped traffic, so should not be a big impact on our operations.
Of course, this will not be helping our diversion numbers.
