Is the facility licenced or permitted to receive your material? Do they have adequate insurance? Do they have a monitoring program? What orders have been written? Do they have an emergency response plan? Have they ever been audited? Who can take my waste? Until now the onus to establish the legitimacy of the landfill or recycling operation was placed on the generator. The need to verify the processes that indicate diligence by the generator are more profound than ever. wasteweb.ca is a solution to this dilemma. Receivers of waste can list on our site with the stipulation that compliance history, insurance, site specific issues and waste processes are listed. With the wasteweb database, generators will finally be able to make informed expeditious decisions on where their waste goes. Receivers can be contacted directly and confidentially on line. wasteweb.ca is due to launch on September 24, 2001. Prospective receivers or generators can obtain more information by contacting Scott Cooper on 604-244-8101 ext. 232 or on scooper@phhenv.com
