News from Waste Management’s Pine Tree Acres Landfill Waste Management is happy to be providing each of you receiving this newsletter with a source of news and information about Waste Management and Pine Tree Acres Landfill. This newsletter will provide information about activities taking place at Pine Tree Acres Landfill as well as local news from in and around the community. From time to time, we will also share news with you about what is happening at WM across the U.S. You will discover that these are exciting times for our industry, as we are transitioning from a waste collection provider to a resource management and energy production leader. First, and foremost, we want to continue to encourage local resi- dents to call the Waste Management ODOR COMPLAINT HOTLINE number if you experience odors for any prolonged periods of time in and around Pine Tree Acres. This “Hotline” rings directly into our Waste Management Corporate Offices and allows for better record-keeping and quicker response times to address your concerns. We encourage you to call this number rather than the local Township office, as it will expedite response times from WM. We would also like to remind you that you might experience some occasional odors throughout the year as we continue to make improvements to our landfill gas collection system and as we con- struct our new Renewable Energy Plant. Throughout this process, we will encourage you, our neighbors, to learn about our opera- tions, WM management, and our employees, several of whom live in this community. WM management and our staff are here to perform a valuable service and we care about our community.
