Risk Factors

  • Most material update: $152M charge for suspending plastic film/wrap recycling due to market deterioration and $45M landfill impairment for accelerated closure
  • Increased landfill mandated fees by $29M YTD, reflecting higher state and local taxes, especially in West Tier operations
