To pay by credit, a business must first complete a
credit application.
The approval process takes approximately two weeks. Once approved, a
deposit amount is determined at 1.5 times the estimated monthly
usage. The deposit can be in the form of cash or, if $5,000 or more,
an insurance bond. Credit accounts are reviewed periodically to
ensure a proper deposit amount.
Charge Credit Application
Business Check
To pay by check (business only), a check credit
application must be completed. The approval process takes
approximately two business days. Once approved, one check can be used
per site per day for all incoming loads of debris.

Cash
To pay by cash, a deposit is required upon entering
the scale house. This deposit is based on the capacity of the vehicle and
the type of debris. Upon weigh-out
the empty weight is subtracted from the full weight recorded inbound and
the net weight and total fee is calculated.
The customer then receives a refund of excess deposit or pays any
additional funds due.
