text: *Transfer and Disposal Services.*We own or operate 96 transfer stations. We deposit waste at these 
  stations, as do other private haulers and municipal haulers, for compaction and transfer to trailers for transport 
  to disposal sites or recycling facilities. As of December 31, 2004, we owned or operated 58 landÑlls, which had 
  approximately 8,904 permitted acres and total available permitted and probable expansion disposal capacity of 
  approximately 1.7 billion in-place cubic yards. The in-place capacity of our landÑlls is subject to change based 
  on engineering factors, requirements of regulatory authorities and the ability to expand our sites successfully. 
  Some of our landÑlls accept non-hazardous special waste, including utility ash, asbestos and contaminated 
  soils. See ""Ì Properties.'' 
  
  Most of our existing landÑll sites have the potential for expanded disposal capacity beyond the currently 
  permitted acreage. We monitor the availability of permitted disposal capacity at each of our landÑlls and 
  evaluate whether to pursue expansion at a given landÑll based on estimated future waste volumes and prices, 
  market needs, remaining capacity and likelihood of obtaining an expansion. To satisfy future disposal demand, 
  we are currently seeking to expand permitted capacity at certain of our landÑlls, although no assurances can be 
  made that all future expansions will be permitted as designed.
