genuine customer care and teamwork and safety alongside their

heart and soul into their work on a daily basis. It is because of
these employees that we are the company we are today. They
are truly the front line of Advanced Disposal and recognizing
them at the Employee of the Year event is just a small way to
say thank you for the big jobs they do.
“It’s always a special time when we come together to honor
our best,” said Charlie Appleby. “Their tireless devotion to
making Advanced Disposal the best in our industry does not
go unnoticed, and this is our time to say thanks.”

Valley View Landfill
Site Manager Ken
Wuehler was chosen
to represent the
division at the Central
Illinois Regional Chili
Ed Woker and Wanda Wuehler, wife of Ken Wuehler, served

local Rotary clubs.
Thirty-one cooks from Illinois, Kentucky, Iowa, Indiana, Nebraska,
Wisconsin, Oklahoma and Arkansas took part in the eighth annual
event at Hickory Point Mall in Forsyth, Illinois. While Ken did not
take home a top prize, his efforts certainly were not in vain as money
raised at the event benefitted local charities and Rotary projects.
“Our company is always trying to stay active in the communities
that we service. We had a good time and plan to do it again next
year,” said Municipal Marketing & Government Affairs Manager Ed
Woker, who helped serve chili to attendees.

Educating Students –
Our Future Environmentalists
The second session of the
EARTHCARE/Save the Bays
Saturdays Environmental Education
Program was recently held on Grand
Bahama Island. Students were invited
to learn about three types of pollution:
air, water and ground. For the water
pollution segment, students were
welcomed to Advanced Disposal’s Pine
Ridge Landfill and were given a tour
by Landfill Manager Jason Albury. The
tour was said to be the highlight of the
students’ day.
We love hearing from you! Each week, we send out the Photo of the
Week to all employees via email. Pictures of employees, equipment
or facilities at work or a great shot of the Advanced Disposal logo are
always welcome. If you have a photo you would like to submit, please
send it to Lauren Perkins at [email protected]. By

Advanced Disposal and allow for its use and distribution in company
marketing materials and other company uses. You never know when
your picture could show up!

KUDOS FROM THE FIELD
“Your company is the third waste company I have had in the last 10 years. I
want to say thank you for fantastic and friendly service! Your employees are
always friendly and efficient, and the drivers do a great job. Thanks again.”
– JoEllen Greenwood, Upper Gwynedd, Pennsylvania
“I only had one little bag of trash, and it wasn’t very heavy. I put a tree
branch over it to help weight it down since the wind was strong. I noticed
that the bag had been blown into the ditch, and I thought the driver was
probably already past my house. I was getting ready to go outside and pick it
up when the driver showed up and picked it up out of the ditch. Please tell
Driver Barry Barclay thank you for fishing the bag out of the ditch and
making sure I was serviced.”
– Jay Sicht, Columbia, Missouri
“I was traveling home in the icy, snowy mess. I finally made it to my exit,
and I got stuck after slipping on ice. A brand-new Advanced Disposal
truck with two incredible young men, Driver Daniel Gilchrist and
Helper Randy White, saw me and stopped to help. These guys were such
a godsend. They not only got my car unstuck, but made sure that I was ok
and were really caring. I want you to know that you have two amazing
employees in these guys.”
– Jennifer Hicks, Moody, Alabama
“Thank you for your in-kind donation of dumpster services donated three
times a week for the year of 2013. We can’t begin to thank you for your
support. Donations like these are a vital part of the success of our house.
Each year we serve approximately 1,100 families who call Jacksonville home
during their child’s injury or illness. Thank you for being a part of our
efforts! Please know there is no way we could open our doors unless we had
such an outpouring of support from you and the community. Thank you
for being a part of our mission to make our house a home for parents and
children to temporarily forget their problems and experience normalcy and
togetherness in the midst of a difficult situation.”
– Annie Tutt, Director of Development and Marketing, Ronald
McDonald House, Jacksonville, Florida
“Thank you to the gentleman who picks up our trash cans. I had taken our
garbage cans out to the street the night before our weekly regular scheduled
pickup time. The following morning, I looked out our window and observed
that one of our cans had been knocked over and trash had been strewn
around. We have neighbors next door who have a dog that has mastered
the skill of knocking over surrounding trash cans to get a bite to eat every
week. I was putting on my shoes to clean up the mess when I looked out the
window and saw Driver Willie Williams cleaning up the mess. I just
wanted to thank him for going above and beyond his responsibilities and
taking care of the mess himself. In this day and age, it is difficult to obtain
good customer service.”

RECYCLE THIS!
Commodity of the Month: Batteries
Batteries play a critical role in our society. We use them every day in our
handheld electronics, like cellular phones, tablets and computers. They also
power critical safety equipment used by the military, firefighters, police and
hospitals. Batteries help offset the impact of power fluctuations and serve as
lifesaving sources of energy during power outages.
All batteries contain heavy metals that react with electrolytes to produce
power. These heavy metals (lead, mercury, nickel and cadmium) can be toxic
to the environment when handled improperly. As a result, most states have
laws that require battery recycling.
Battery recycling processes allow for the safe capture of heavy metals and
recycling of the other components. To find a battery recycling outlet near
you, check out www.Call2Recycle.org or your local government website.
Helpful Tip:
A hot battery drains faster than a cool one. Don’t leave battery-powered items
in the heat, and if your device is warm to the touch, it is running inefficiently.
Trivia Question:
What are the two basic types of batteries?
– Jeffrey A. Kujawa, Hawkinsville, Georgia
“I forgot to put out the trash and heard your truck coming down the street.
As Driver Chris Gums approached, I opened the garage and went to
the window to see if I had any chance of catching his attention. Not only
did I catch his attention, but he grabbed the trash from alongside my
house to help me out – and the weather was really cold. Chris was alert,
conscientious and went the extra mile. Thank you, Chris!”
MARCH 2014 • ADVANCED DISPOSAL EMPLOYEE NEWS
Answer: There are two basic types of batteries: wet cell and dry cell. Wet cell
batteries contain a liquid electrolyte, such as sulfuric acid, that reacts with heavy
metals. Dry cell batteries contain a dry electrolyte and are considered safer, as they
do not have the potential to leak a dangerous liquid.
– Matthew Flannery, Eau Claire, Wisconsin

VICE PRESIDENTS
GERALD ALLEN – VICE PRESIDENT – LANDFILLS
Growing and Expanding
Caruthers Mill Landfill in Monroe,
Georgia, has entered into Cell 2B.
We began taking waste into the
continuation of Cell 2 and plan to have
adequate air space available for the next
three years. We have been anxiously
awaiting the opportunity to floor in
this cell and have worked hard to ensure
the transition has been a smooth one.
Moving from the top of the hill to the bottom, we relocated our
shop, compressor and fueling station, which will make it much
easier for the operators to perform day-to-day maintenance on
machines. This move will also shorten our trip time on hauling
cover material due to the close proximity of our borrow area. Our
team will continue to work hard together, and we look forward
to the rest of 2014 – what we expect to be our best year yet.
Caruthers Mill Landfill receives its first load in Cell 2B after the new floor is installed.
JAY ROONEY – REGIONAL VICE PRESIDENT – MIDWEST REGION
Powering through a “Polar Vortex”
We all know the media likes to sound the alarms
when the slightest threat of severe weather is possible.
Unfortunately, in early January, they were spot on.
Many of the areas we service had temperatures that
hovered around -40° F with the wind chill.
As a good offense is the best defense, the
management team (led by General Manager Cris
Manley) in Rockford, Illinois, put together a plan to
get their entire fleet indoors ahead of the expected
temperature drop. Maintenance Manager Mike
Morey and Operations Manager Leroy Overturf called vendors looking
for heated indoor space to park trucks and got a tremendous response. As a
result of these efforts, our fleet fired up on that first frigid morning with no
issues, and all of our customers received their normal service.
In Waunakee, Wisconsin, Fleet Manager Paul Carthew and Technicians
Steve Halfpap and Jesse Walker started their shifts at 8 p.m. for three days
straight. They worked through the night into late morning, keeping trucks
running so the cabs were warm and the fluids wouldn’t gel. They also acted
as first responders in the event drivers experienced any downtime.
The cold was business as usual for folks in Minocqua, Wisconsin, who deal
with frigid weather every winter. They continued their practice of starting
trucks early, made themselves available for employees working out in the
cold, and kept hot chocolate and apple cider on hand.
Thanks to all for your efforts during this challenging winter.
The Midwest Region has been experiencing a lot of snow this winter – which has
provided many opportunities to practice safety!
QUOTE OF THE MONTH
“I began to realize how important it was to be an enthusiast in life. He taught me that if you are interested in something, no matter what it
is, go at it at full speed ahead. Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it and above all become passionate about it. Lukewarm is no good.
Hot is no good either. White hot and passionate is the only thing to be.”
– Roald Dahl (author, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory)

VICE PRESIDENTS
CHARLIE GRAY– REGIONAL VICE PRESIDENT – SOUTH REGION
Let’s Get Political!
Advanced Disposal’s South Region has found
success in identifying and hiring talent
from the political arena. When marketing
Advanced Disposal and working to win
new contracts, it is beneficial to have team
members who understand and can navigate
the political process. They need to have the
personality to foster relationships with all
types of individuals, whether they are elected
officials, city/county staff, community activists and even our own
internal Advanced Disposal employees. Along with these qualities,
they also need to have the work ethic, discipline and ability to
multitask to last through hours and hours of council meetings
to represent Advanced Disposal while juggling customer issues,
community affairs, legislative needs and proposal development.
We are proud and honored to recognize several of our South Region
employees who hold, or have held, elected positions in state and
local government, along with others who aspire to serve their
communities in political roles.
Marcie Kreager, our Eagle Point Landfill Community Affairs
Manager, previously served on the Forsyth County Board of
Commissioners from 2001 to 2004 and remains very politically
active in her home county.
Lynn Gowan, our South Alabama Municipal Marketing and
Government Affairs Manager, is a former Montgomery County
Commissioner. He served for 17 years and may re-enter the political
arena to regain the seat that he once held in the near future. Lynn
remains very active in local and state politics.
Gentry Shows, our South Region Municipal Marketing Manager,
serves as Alabama Chapter Chairman of the NW&RA and
previously served on the Industrial Development Board and the
Parks & Recreation Board in his home city.
We encourage all our employees to get involved in their community
and offer to serve others in multiple capacities. For elected officials,
the pay is low and the hours are long, but the rewards are many
(most of the time)!
Who knows who your next elected official may be? It could just be
your garbage man or lady!
Steve Edwards, our Georgia Municipal Marketing and
Government Affairs Manager, currently serves as Mayor of Sugar
Hill, Georgia, after previously serving as a Council Member in
Sugar Hill from 2003 to 2013. Steve also serves as Georgia Chapter
Chairman of the National Waste and Recycling Association
(NW&RA).
Brett Harrell, Atlanta Area Municipal Marketing and Government
Affairs Manager, currently serves in the Georgia House of
Representatives, Seat 106. He represents areas in unincorporated
Gwinnett County and the cities of Snellville, Grayson, Norcross
and Loganville, Georgia. Prior to his service in the State House,
Brett served as a City Council member and Mayor of Snellville,
Georgia, from 1999 to 2003.
Steve Edwards, otherwise known as Eco Man, uses his alter ego to impact his community.
DAVE LAVENDER – REGIONAL VICE PRESIDENT – EAST REGION
A Facelift for Tennessee
The Advanced Disposal – Tennessee hauling
company had an eventful new year with the
completion of the new office and shop on
the Eco-Safe Landfill property. Prior to its
completion, the hauling company had invaded
the landfill’s operating space, from office space
to finding a place for our mechanic to work on
trucks to parking trucks. This effort was a fourmonth project that could not have been completed so quickly without
help from General Manager Charlie Appleby Jr.’s team. During
this time, the landfill also began construction on Cell 1B due to the
excellent growth accomplished in less than two years.
“Despite all the construction challenges on both sides, Charlie and
I have worked hard to build a vibrant, hardworking team with an
atmosphere that is infectious and motivational to others. We want the
cohabitation of the landfill and hauling company to complement our
growth efforts and show the community why Advanced Disposal is the
number one partner of choice,” said Site Manager Justin Rodda.
MARCH 2014 • ADVANCED DISPOSAL EMPLOYEE NEWS
The combination of the hauling company and landfill gives us a
unique advantage over our competition in this market. With recent
wins for the hauling company and landfill and with plenty more in the
pipeline, the investment in the Tennessee and Virginia marketplaces is
proving to be a great return on investment. The future is exciting
and promising!
The new truck stop and hauling company offices are complete. Employees are enjoying their
new, spacious building.

GOOD SAMARITAN NOMINEE
Mike Morey is a Maintenance Manager for
Advanced Disposal – Davis Junction, Illinois.
When recent cold temperatures reached -20°
F, a car died in the middle of the highway not
far from the Davis Junction location. The car
sat disabled in the middle of the road, which
took another driver by surprise. The driver of
the approaching vehicle tried to swerve around
the disabled vehicle, and the second car flipped
into a ditch. Another employee mentioned the
accident to Mike as he made his way into the
office. Mike quickly jumped into his vehicle to
drive out to the accident. He knew that even if
the person made it out of the flipped car, the freezing temperatures would
cause more issues. Mike reached the accident and helped the driver into his
vehicle to wait until an ambulance arrived to the scene. Thanks to Mike for
his quick thinking and kind actions!
