Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS	1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Republic Services, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and its subsidiaries (also referred to collectively as Republic, we, us, our, or the company in this report) is the second largest provider of non-hazardous solid waste collection, transfer, recycling and disposal services in the United States, as measured by revenue. We manage and evaluate our operations through four geographic regions — Eastern, Midwestern, Southern, and Western, which we have identified as our reportable segments. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Republic, its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries, and certain variable interest entities for which we have determined that consolidation is required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). Our investments in variable interest entities are not material to our consolidated financial statements. We account for investments in entities in which we do not have a controlling financial interest under either the equity method or the cost method of accounting, as appropriate. We have prepared these unaudited consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain information related to our organization, significant accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments, which, unless otherwise disclosed, are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for a full year. You should read these interim financial statements in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. For comparative purposes, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. All amounts are in millions, except per share amounts and except as otherwise noted. Management’s Estimates and Assumptions These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include numerous estimates and assumptions made by management that affect the accounting for and recognition and disclosure of assets, liabilities, stockholders’ equity, revenue and expenses. We must make these estimates and assumptions because certain information that we use is dependent on future events, cannot be calculated with a high degree of precision from data available or simply cannot be readily calculated based on generally accepted methodologies. In some cases, these estimates are particularly difficult to determine and we must exercise significant judgment. The most difficult, subjective and complex estimates and assumptions that deal with the greatest amount of uncertainty relate to our accounting for our long-lived assets, landfill development costs, goodwill, and final capping, closure and post-closure costs; our valuation allowances for accounts receivable and deferred tax assets; our liabilities for potential litigation, claims and assessments; our liabilities for environmental remediation, employee benefit plans, stock-based compensation, deferred taxes, uncertain tax positions and self-insurance; and our estimates of the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired in our acquisition of Allied Waste Industries, Inc. (Allied). Each of these items is discussed in more detail in our description of our significant accounting policies in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. Our actual results may differ significantly from our estimates. New Accounting Pronouncements *Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities* In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an amendment to the accounting and disclosure requirements for the consolidation of variable interest entities (VIEs) that requires an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether its variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a VIE. Under this new guidance, an enterprise has a controlling financial interest when it has (i) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. An enterprise is required to assess whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that a VIE operates as designed when determining whether it has power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. It also requires ongoing assessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, requires enhanced disclosures and eliminates the scope exclusion for qualifying special-purpose entities. We adopted this new guidance on January 1, 2010. The impact of adopting this guidance did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Restructuring Charges [Abstract]

RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

2. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

As a result of our 2008 acquisition of Allied, we committed to a restructuring plan related to our corporate overhead and other administrative and operating functions. The plan included closing our corporate office in Florida, consolidating administrative functions to Arizona, the former headquarters of Allied, and reducing staffing levels. The plan also included closing and consolidating certain operating locations and terminating certain leases. During the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we incurred $1.4 million and $12.3 million, respectively, of restructuring and integration charges related to our integration of Allied, which consisted of charges and adjustments for severance, other employee termination and relocation benefits and professional fees.

During the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we incurred $7.0 million, net of adjustments, and $43.6 million, respectively, of restructuring and integration charges related to our integration of Allied. These charges and adjustments related to severance and other employee termination and relocation benefits as well as consulting and professional fees. Substantially all the charges are recorded in our corporate segment. We expect to incur additional charges approximating $4.7 million to complete our plan. We expect these charges will be paid during the remainder of 2010 and into 2011.

LANDFILL AND ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS

6. LANDFILL AND ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS

As of June 30, 2010, we owned or operated 191 active solid waste landfills with total available disposal capacity of approximately 4.6 billion in-place cubic yards. Additionally, we currently have post-closure responsibility for 134 closed landfills.

Accrued Landfill and Environmental Costs

A summary of landfill and environmental liabilities as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 is as follows:

Final Capping, Closure and Post-Closure Costs

The following table summarizes the activity in our asset retirement obligation liabilities, which include liabilities for final capping, closure and post-closure, for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009:


	Six Months Ended June 30,

Less: Current portion		(123.7	)		(99.8	)

Long-term portion	$	970.5		$	973.5

Annually, in the fourth quarter, we review our calculations for asset retirement obligations. However, if there are significant changes in the facts and circumstances related to a site during the year, we will update our assumptions prospectively in the period that all the relevant facts and circumstances are known.

The fair value of assets that are legally restricted for purposes of collateralizing certain of our final capping, closure and post-closure obligations was approximately $60.7 million at June 30, 2010 and $62.4 million as of December 31, 2009, and are included in restricted cash and marketable securities in our consolidated balance sheets.

Environmental Remediation Liabilities

We accrue for remediation costs when they become probable and can be reasonably estimated. We believe that the amounts accrued for remediation costs are adequate. There can sometimes be a range of reasonable estimates of the costs associated with remediation of a site. In these cases, we use the amount within the range that constitutes our best estimate. If no amount within the range appears to be a better estimate than any other, we use the amount that is at the low end of such range. It is reasonably possible that we will need to adjust the liabilities recorded for remediation to reflect the effects of new or additional information, to the extent such information impacts the costs, timing or duration of the required actions. If we used the reasonably possible high ends of our ranges, our aggregate potential remediation liability at June 30, 2010 would be approximately $191 million higher than the amounts recorded. Future changes in our estimates of the cost, timing or duration of the required actions could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The following table summarizes the activity in our environmental remediation liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009:

The following is a discussion of certain of our significant remediation matters:

Countywide Landfill. In 2007, we were issued Final Findings and Orders (F&Os) by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) related to environmental conditions at our Countywide Recycling and Disposal Facility (Countywide) in East Sparta, Ohio and we agreed with the OEPA to undertake certain other remedial actions as well. During 2008, Republic Services of Ohio II, LLC (Republic-Ohio), an Ohio limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of ours and parent of Countywide, entered into an Agreed Order on Consent (AOC) with the EPA requiring the reimbursement of costs incurred by the EPA and requiring Republic-Ohio to perform certain remediation activities at Countywide. Republic-Ohio also has completed construction of an isolation break under the authority and supervision of the EPA. On September 30, 2009, Republic-Ohio entered into a set of F&Os with the OEPA that supersede previous F&Os mentioned above. The F&Os require the implementation of a comprehensive operation and maintenance program for managing the remediation area. The operation and maintenance program requires Republic-Ohio to maintain the temporary cap and other engineering controls to prevent odors and isolate and contain the reaction. The operation and maintenance program is ultimately designed to result in the final capping and closure of the 88-acre remediation area at Countywide. The remediation liability for Countywide recorded as of June 30, 2010 is $71.1 million, of which approximately $2.4 million is expected to be paid during the remainder of 2010. The reasonably possible range of loss for remediation costs is $65 million to $86 million.

West Contra Costa County Landfill. In 2006, we were issued an Enforcement Order by the California Department of Toxic Substance Control (DTSC) for the Class 1 Hazardous waste cell at the West Contra Costa County Landfill (West County). Subsequently, we entered into a Consent Agreement with DTSC in 2007 at which time we agreed to undertake certain remedial actions. The remediation liability for West County recorded as of June 30, 2010 is $45.7 million, of which approximately $1.5 million is expected to be paid during the remainder of 2010. The reasonably possible range of loss for remediation costs is $40 million to $66 million.

Sunrise Landfill. On August 1, 2008, Republic Services of Southern Nevada (RSSN), our wholly owned subsidiary, signed a Consent Decree with the EPA, the Bureau of Land Management and Clark County, Nevada related to the Sunrise Landfill. Under the Consent Decree, RSSN has agreed to perform certain remedial actions at the Sunrise Landfill for which RSSN and Clark County were otherwise jointly and severally liable. We also paid $1.0 million in sanctions related to the Consent Decree. RSSN is currently working with the Clark County Staff and Board of Commissioners to develop a mechanism to fund the costs to comply with the Consent Decree. However, we have not recorded any potential recoveries. The remediation liability for Sunrise recorded as of June 30, 2010 is $34.8 million, of which approximately $9.3 million is expected to be paid during the remainder of 2010. The reasonably possible range of loss for remediation costs is $32 million to $47 million.

Congress Development Landfill. In January 2006, Congress Development Co. (CDC) was issued an Agreed Preliminary Injunction and Order by the Circuit Court of Illinois, Cook County. Subsequently, the court issued two additional Supplemental Orders that required CDC to implement certain remedial actions at the Congress Landfill. The remediation liability recorded for CDC as of June 30, 2010 is $81.4 million, of which approximately $16.9 million is expected to be paid during the remainder of 2010. The reasonably possible range of loss for remediation costs is $52 million to $152 million.

Environmental Operating Costs

In the normal course of business, we incur various operating costs associated with environmental compliance. These costs include, among other things, leachate treatment and disposal, methane gas and groundwater monitoring and systems maintenance, interim cap maintenance, costs associated with the application of daily cover materials, and the legal and administrative costs of ongoing environmental compliance. These costs are expensed as a cost of operations in the period in which they are incurred.

Revolving Credit Facilities

The $1.0 billion revolving credit facility due April 2012 and the $1.75 billion revolving credit facility due September 2013 (collectively, Credit Facilities) bear interest at a Base Rate, or a Eurodollar Rate, plus an applicable margin based on our Debt Ratings (all as defined in the agreements). As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the interest rate for our borrowings under our Credit Facilities was 2.22% and 1.82%, respectively. Our Credit Facilities are also subject to facility fees based on applicable rates defined in the agreements and the aggregate commitments, regardless of usage. Availability under our Credit Facilities can be used for working capital, capital expenditures, letters of credit and other general corporate purposes. The agreements governing our Credit Facilities require us to maintain certain financial and other covenants. We have the ability to pay dividends and to repurchase common stock provided that we are in compliance with these covenants. We had $150.0 million and $300.0 million of Eurodollar Rate borrowings, $46.0 million and $15.4 million of Base Rate borrowings and $1,619.8 million and $1,634.0 million of letters of credit utilizing availability under our Credit Facilities, leaving $934.2 million and $800.6 million of availability under our Credit Facilities at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. At June 30, 2010, we were in compliance with the covenants under our Credit Facilities.

Receivables Secured Loans

In March 2010, we repaid all borrowings and terminated our accounts receivable securitization program with two financial institutions that allowed us to borrow up to $300.0 million on a revolving basis under loan agreements secured by receivables. During the first quarter of 2010, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.2 million related to the write-off of unamortized deferred issuance costs associated with this program.

Senior Notes and Debentures

In March 2010, we issued $850.0 million of 5.00% senior notes due 2020 (the 2020 Notes) and $650.0 million of 6.20% senior notes due 2040 (the 2040 Notes, and, together with the 2020 Notes, the Notes). The Notes are general senior unsecured obligations and mature on March 1, 2020 (in the case of the 2020 Notes) and March 1, 2040 (in the case of the 2040 Notes). Interest is payable semi-annually on March 1 and September 1, beginning September 1, 2010. The Notes are guaranteed by each of our subsidiaries that also guarantees our Credit Facilities. These guarantees are general senior unsecured obligations of our subsidiary guarantors. In addition, in March 2010, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the representatives of the initial purchasers of the Notes. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, we agreed to use our reasonable best efforts to cause to become effective a registration statement to exchange the Notes for freely tradable notes issued by us. If we are unable to effect the exchange offer by November 2010, we agreed to pay additional interest on the Notes. We launched the exchange offer for the Notes, as well as certain other senior notes in June 2010 and expect the exchange offer to be consummated in August 2010.

We used the net proceeds from the Notes as follows: (i) $433.7 million to redeem the 6.125% senior notes due 2014 at a premium of 102.042% ($425.0 million principal outstanding); (ii) $621.8 million to redeem the 7.250% senior notes due 2015 at a premium of 103.625% ($600.0 million principal outstanding); and (iii) the remainder to reduce amounts outstanding under our Credit Facilities and for general corporate purposes. During the first quarter of 2010, we incurred a loss of $132.1 million for premiums paid to repurchase debt, the write-off of unamortized debt discounts and professional fees paid to effectuate the repurchase of the senior notes.

As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, our senior notes and debentures totaled $5,628.6 million and $5,029.9 million, net of unamortized discounts and adjustments to fair value recorded in purchase accounting for the debt assumed from Allied of $303.2 million and $428.5 million, respectively, which is being amortized over the remaining term of the notes, and adjustments to fair value related to our interest rate swap agreements of $8.3 million and $9.9 million, respectively.

Tax-Exempt Financings

As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had $1,201.3 million and $1,223.7 million, respectively, of fixed and variable rate tax-exempt financings outstanding with maturities ranging from 2012 to 2037. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the unamortized adjustment to fair value recorded in purchase accounting for these tax-exempt financings assumed from Allied was $47.2 million and $49.0 million, respectively, which is being amortized to interest expense over the remaining terms of the debt.

Approximately two-thirds of our tax-exempt financings are remarketed weekly or daily by a remarketing agent to effectively maintain a variable yield. These variable rate tax-exempt financings are credit enhanced with letters of credit having terms in excess of one year issued by banks with credit ratings of AA or better. The holders of the bonds can put them back to the remarketing agent at the end of each interest period. To date, the remarketing agents have been able to remarket our variable rate unsecured tax-exempt bonds.

As of June 30, 2010, we had $315.2 million of restricted cash, of which $80.1 million represents proceeds from the issuance of tax-exempt bonds and other tax-exempt financings, and will be used to fund capital expenditures under the terms of the agreements. Restricted cash also includes amounts held in trust as a financial guarantee of our performance.

Other Debt

Other debt primarily includes capital lease liabilities of $91.6 million and $91.9 million as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, with maturities ranging from 2010 to 2042.

Fair Value of Debt

The fair value of our fixed rate senior notes using quoted market rates was $6.2 billion and $5.7 billion at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The carrying value of our fixed rate senior notes was $5.6 billion and $5.0 billion at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The carrying amounts of our remaining notes payable and tax-exempt financings approximate fair value because interest rates are variable and, accordingly, approximate current market rates for instruments with similar risk and maturities. The fair value of our debt is determined as of the balance sheet date and is subject to change.

Guarantees

Substantially all of our subsidiaries have guaranteed our obligations under the Credit Facilities.

Substantially all of our subsidiaries guarantee each series of senior notes issued by our parent company, Republic Services, Inc. Our parent company and substantially all of our subsidiaries guarantee each series of senior notes issued by our subsidiary Allied Waste North America, Inc. (AWNA notes) and each series of senior notes issued by our subsidiary Browning-Ferris Industries, LLC (successor to Browning-Ferris Industries, Inc.) (BFI notes). All of these guarantees would be automatically released upon the release of our subsidiaries from their guarantee obligations under the Credit Facilities, except the guarantee of Allied in the case of the AWNA notes, and the guarantees of Allied and Allied Waste North America, Inc. in the case of the BFI notes.

We have guaranteed some of the tax-exempt bonds of our subsidiaries. If a subsidiary fails to meet its obligations associated with tax-exempt bonds as they come due, we will be required to perform under the related guarantee agreement. No additional liability has been recorded for these guarantees because the underlying obligations are reflected in our consolidated balance sheets.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

Our ability to obtain financing through the capital markets is a key component of our financial strategy. Historically, we have managed risk associated with executing this strategy, particularly as it relates to fluctuations in interest rates, by using a combination of fixed and floating rate debt. We also entered into interest rate swap agreements to manage risk associated with fluctuations in interest rates. The swap agreements have a total notional value of $210.0 million and mature in August 2011. This maturity is identical to our unsecured notes that also mature in 2011. Under the swap agreements, we pay interest at floating rates based on changes in LIBOR and receive interest at fixed rates of 6.75%. We have designated these agreements as hedges of changes in the fair value of our fixed-rate debt. We have determined that these agreements qualify for the short-cut method and, therefore, changes in the fair value of the agreements are assumed to be perfectly effective in hedging changes in the fair value of our fixed rate debt due to changes in interest rates.

As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, interest rate swap agreements are reflected at their fair value of $8.3 million and $9.9 million, respectively, and are included in other assets and as an adjustment to long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheets.

The following table summarizes the reduction to interest expense due to periodic settlements of active swap agreements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009:


Consolidated Statement of Income Classification	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2010		2009
Interest expense	$	2.1	$	2.0



Consolidated Statement of Income Classification	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2010		2009
Interest expense	$	4.3	$	4.4

From time to time, we enter into treasury and interest rate locks for the purpose of managing exposure to fluctuations in interest rates in anticipation of future debt issuances. During the first quarter of 2010, we entered into interest rate lock agreements having an aggregate notional amount of $500.0 million to hedge interest rates in connection with the issuance of our $850.0 million 5.00% senior notes and our $650.0 million 6.20% senior notes. Upon issuance of the notes, we terminated the interest rate locks and paid approximately $7.0 million to the counterparties. The effective portion of the interest rate locks, recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, was $2.0 million, net of $1.5 million of tax (related to the 2020 Notes), and $1.7 million, net of tax of $1.2 million (related to the 2040 Notes). The effective portion of the interest rate locks will be amortized as an increase to interest expense over the life of the issued debt, of which $0.3 million is scheduled to be amortized over the next twelve months as a yield adjustment to the 2020 and 2040 Notes. This transaction was accounted for as a cash flow hedge. As of June 30, 2010, no treasury or interest rate lock cash flow hedges were outstanding.

Income Taxes	6 Months Ended
Income Taxes	Jun. 30, 2010
Income Taxes [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	8. INCOME TAXES Our effective tax rate, exclusive of minority interest income, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was 40.9% and 41.8%, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 our effective tax rate was 39.2% and 40.7%, respectively. Income taxes are recorded based upon our anticipated full year effective income tax rate. Income taxes paid (net of refunds received) were $284.4 million and $219.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We and our subsidiaries are subject to income tax in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, as well as income tax in multiple state jurisdictions. We have acquired Allied’s open tax periods as part of the acquisition. We are currently under examination or administrative review by various state and federal taxing authorities for certain tax years, including federal income tax audits for calendar years 2000 through 2008. We recognize interest and penalties as incurred within the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of income. As of June 30, 2010, we have accrued a liability for penalties of $1.5 million and interest (including interest on penalties) of $97.8 million related to our uncertain tax positions. We believe that the liabilities for uncertain tax positions recorded are appropriate. However, during the next twelve months we believe it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will increase or decrease. We are unable to estimate a range at this time. A significant assessment against us in excess of the liabilities recorded could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. With respect to the settlement of certain tax liabilities regarding the BFI risk management companies, we paid approximately $110 million during the first six months of 2010. *Exchange of Partnership Interests* In April 2002, Allied exchanged minority partnership interests in four waste-to-energy facilities for majority partnership interests in equipment purchasing businesses, which are now wholly owned subsidiaries. In November 2008, the IRS issued a formal disallowance to Allied contending that the exchange was instead a sale on which a corresponding gain should have been recognized. Although we intend to vigorously defend our position on this matter, if the exchange is treated as a sale, we estimate it could have a potential federal and state cash tax impact of approximately $156 million plus accrued interest through June 30, 2010 of approximately $65 million. In addition, the IRS has asserted a penalty of 20% of the additional income tax due. At June 30, 2010, the amount of the asserted penalty and penalty-related interest was approximately $47 million. The potential tax and interest (but not penalty or penalty-related interest) for this matter have been fully reserved in our consolidated balance sheets. The successful assertion by the IRS of penalty and penalty-related interest in connection with this matter could have an adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations and cash flows. *Methane Gas* As part of its examination of Allied’s 2000 through 2006 federal income tax returns, the IRS reviewed Allied’s treatment of costs associated with its landfill operations. As a result of this review, the IRS has proposed that certain landfill costs be allocated to the collection and control of methane gas that is naturally produced within the landfill. The IRS’ position is that the methane gas produced by a landfill is a joint product resulting from operation of the landfill and, therefore, these costs should not be expensed until the methane gas is sold or otherwise disposed. We are contesting this issue at the Appeals Office of the IRS. We believe we have several meritorious defenses, including the fact that methane gas is not actively produced for sale by us but rather arises naturally in the context of providing disposal services. Therefore, we believe that the resolution of this issue will not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Stock-Based Compensation

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

9. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Available Shares

We currently have 3.8 million and 15.3 million shares reserved under our 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (2007 Plan) and our 2006 Incentive Stock Plan, respectively.

Options

We use a lattice binomial option-pricing model to value our stock option grants. We recognize compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award, or to the employee’s retirement eligible date, if earlier. Expected volatility is based on the weighted average of the most recent one-year volatility and a historical rolling average volatility of our stock over the expected life of the option. The risk-free interest rate is based on Federal Reserve rates in effect for bonds with maturity dates equal to the expected term of the option. We use historical data to estimate future option exercises, forfeitures and expected life of the options. When appropriate, separate groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. The weighted-average estimated fair values of stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $5.25 and $3.47 per option, respectively, which were calculated using the following weighted-average assumptions:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2010			2009
Expected volatility		28.6	%		28.7	%
Risk-free interest rate		2.4	%		1.4	%

During the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, compensation expense for stock options was $6.2 million and $3.9 million, respectively.

As of June 30, 2010, total unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding stock options was $15.5 million, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.0 years.

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we awarded 87,707 restricted stock units to our non-employee directors under our 2007 Plan, of which 85,584 vested immediately. The remaining restricted stock units awarded during the six months ended June 30, 2010 vest in three equal annual installments beginning on the anniversary date of the original grant. The directors receive the underlying shares only after their board service ends or a change in control occurs. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we awarded 207,791 restricted stock units to executives and other officers that vest in four equal annual installments beginning on the anniversary date of the original grant. The restricted stock units do not carry any voting or dividend rights, except the right to receive additional restricted stock units in lieu of dividends.

Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2010, we awarded 64,579 shares of restricted stock to an executive which vest in four equal annual installments beginning on the anniversary date of the original grant. During the vesting period, the participant has voting rights and receives dividends declared and paid on the restricted stock, but the restricted stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise encumbered. Additionally, granted but unvested restricted stock awards are forfeited in the event the participant resigns employment with us for other than good reason.

The fair value of restricted stock units and restricted stock is based on the closing market price on the date of the grant. The compensation expense related to restricted stock units and restricted stock is amortized ratably over the vesting period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, compensation expense related to restricted stock units and restricted stock totaled $5.8 million and $2.9 million, respectively.

Stockholders' Equity and Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

10. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

We initiated a quarterly cash dividend in July 2003. The dividend has been increased from time to time thereafter. In July 2010, the board of directors approved an increase in the quarterly dividend to $0.20 per share. Dividends declared were $145.3 million and $144.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. As of June 30, 2010, we recorded a quarterly dividend payable of approximately $72.8 million to stockholders of record at the close of business on July 1, 2010.

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Republic Services, Inc. by the weighted average number of common shares (including restricted stock and vested but unissued restricted stock units) outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is based on the combined weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding which include, where appropriate, the assumed exercise of employee stock options and unvested restricted stock and unvested restricted stock units. In computing diluted earnings per share, we utilize the treasury stock method.

Earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 are calculated as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,

Fuel Hedges

We have entered into multiple swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges to mitigate some of our exposure related to changes in diesel fuel prices. The swaps qualified for, and were designated as, effective hedges of changes in the prices of forecasted diesel fuel purchases (fuel hedges).

If the national U.S. on-highway average price for a gallon of diesel fuel as published by the Department of Energy exceeds the contract price per gallon, we receive the difference between the average price and the contract price (multiplied by the notional gallons) from the counter-party. If the national U.S. on-highway average price for a gallon of diesel fuel is less than the contract price per gallon, we pay the difference to the counter-party.

The fair values of our fuel hedges are obtained from third-party counter-parties and are determined using standard option valuation models with assumptions about commodity prices being based on those observed in underlying markets (Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy). The aggregated fair values of the outstanding fuel hedges at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were current assets of $0.8 million and $3.2 million, respectively, and current liabilities of $4.9 million and $4.9 million, respectively, and have been recorded in other current assets and other accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets, respectively.

Recycling Commodity Hedges

Our revenue from sales of recycling commodities is primarily from sales of old corrugated cardboard (OCC) and old newspaper (ONP). We have entered into multiple swap agreements related to certain forecasted recycling commodity sales designated as cash flow hedges to mitigate some of our exposure related to changes in commodity prices. The swaps qualified for, and were designated as, effective hedges of changes in the prices of certain forecasted recycling commodity sales (commodity hedges).

If the price per short ton of the hedging instrument (average price) as reported on the Official Board Market is less than the contract price per short ton, we receive the difference between the average price and the contract price (multiplied by the notional short tons) from the counter-party. If the price of the commodity exceeds the contract price per short ton, we pay the difference to the counter-party. The fair values of our commodity hedges are obtained from third-party counter-parties and are determined using standard option valuation models with assumptions about commodity prices being based on those observed in underlying markets (Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy). The aggregated fair values of the outstanding commodity hedges at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were current assets of $0.6 million and $1.8 million, respectively, and current liabilities of $3.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, and have been recorded in other current assets and other accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements

In measuring fair values of assets and liabilities, we use valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs (Level 1) and minimize the use of unobservable inputs (Level 3). We also use market data or assumptions that we believe market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk when appropriate.

The following table presents our fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

Our operations are managed and evaluated through four regions: Eastern, Midwestern, Southern and Western. These four regions are presented below as our reportable segments. These reportable segments provide integrated waste management services consisting of collection, transfer, recycling and disposal of domestic non-hazardous solid waste.

Summarized financial information concerning our reportable segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 is shown in the following tables:

Intercompany operating revenue reflects transactions within and between segments that are generally made on a basis intended to reflect the market value of such services.

Corporate functions include legal, tax, treasury, information technology, risk management, human resources, corporate accounts and other typical administrative functions. Capital expenditures for corporate entities primarily include vehicle inventory acquired but not yet assigned to operating locations and facilities. Corporate capital expenditures are subsequently allocated out of the corporate entities segment to the applicable region when assigned. National accounts revenue included in the corporate entities represents the portion of revenue generated from nationwide contracts in markets outside our operating areas, and, as such, the associated waste handling services are subcontracted to local operators. Consequently, substantially all of this revenue is offset with related subcontract costs, which are recorded in cost of operations.

The following table reflects our revenue by service line for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009:

Other revenue consists primarily of revenue from sales of recycled materials and revenue from national accounts. National accounts revenue included in other revenue represents the portion of revenue generated from nationwide contracts in markets outside our operating areas, and, as such, the associated waste handling services are subcontracted to local operators. Consequently, substantially all of this revenue is offset with related subcontract costs, which are recorded in cost of operations.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

We are subject to extensive and evolving laws and regulations and have implemented our own safeguards to respond to regulatory requirements. In the normal course of conducting our operations, we may become involved in certain legal proceedings. Some of these actions may result in fines, penalties or judgments against us, which may impact earnings and cash flows for a particular period. Although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, except as described below, we do not believe that the outcome of our pending legal proceedings will have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

As used herein, legal proceedings refers to litigation and similar claims against us and our subsidiaries, excluding: (i) ordinary course accidents, general commercial liability and workers compensation claims, which are covered by insurance programs, subject to customary deductibles, and which, together with self-insured employee health care costs, are discussed in this note; (ii) our tax-related matters, which are discussed in Note 8, Income Taxes; and (iii) environmental remediation liabilities, which are discussed in Note 6, Landfill and Environmental Costs.

We accrue for legal proceedings when losses become probable and reasonably estimable. We have recorded an aggregate accrual of approximately $112 million relating to our outstanding legal proceedings as of June 30, 2010, including those described herein and others not specifically identified herein. As of the end of each applicable reporting period, we review each of our legal proceedings and, where it is probable that a liability has been incurred, we accrue for all probable and reasonably estimable losses. Where we are able to reasonably estimate a range of losses we may incur with respect to such a matter, we record an accrual for the amount within the range that constitutes our best estimate. If we are able to reasonably estimate a range but no amount within the range appears to be a better estimate than any other, we use the amount that is the low end of such range. If we used the high ends of such ranges, our aggregate potential liability would have been approximately $110 million higher than the amount recorded as of June 30, 2010.

Countywide Matters

Since 2007, we, through our subsidiary Republic Services of Ohio II, LLC (Republic-Ohio), have been subject to a number of environmental proceedings with governmental authorities with respect to our Countywide Recycling and Disposal Facility (Countywide). These proceedings have related primarily to environmental conditions at Countywide attributed to a chemical reaction resulting from the disposal of certain aluminum production waste at the site. We are currently subject to Findings and Orders issued by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and a Consent Order entered into with the State of Ohio. As a result, we are required to implement a comprehensive operation and maintenance program for managing the remediation area and to address certain compliance issues at the facility. The remediation liability for Countywide recorded as of June 30, 2010 was $71.1 million, of which approximately $2.4 million is expected to be paid during the remainder of 2010. See Note 6, Landfill and Environmental Costs for more information.

For several years, we were involved in litigation with the Stark County Board of Health (Board of Health) regarding the Stark County Health Department’s recommendations that the Board of Health suspend or deny Countywide’s annual operating license. The litigation was concluded in September 2009, pursuant to a Consent Order which requires the Board of Health to issue conditional and/or final operating licenses to Countywide and requires us to reimburse the Board of Health for certain expenses. Notwithstanding the conclusion of this litigation, Countywide’s operating license has been challenged by Tuscarawas County and a local citizens’ group, Club 3000.

In a suit filed on October 8, 2008 in the Tuscarawas County Ohio Court of Common Pleas, approximately 700 plaintiffs have named Republic Services, Inc. and Republic-Ohio as defendants. The claims alleged are negligence and nuisance and arise from the operation of Countywide. Republic-Ohio has owned and operated Countywide since February 1, 1999. Waste Management, Inc. and Waste Management Ohio, Inc., previous owners and operators of Countywide, have been named as defendants as well. Plaintiffs are individuals and businesses located in the geographic area around Countywide. They claim that due to the acceptance of a specific waste stream and operational issues and conditions, the landfill has generated odors and other unsafe emissions that allegedly have impaired the use and value of their property. There are also allegations that the emissions from Countywide may have adverse health effects. A second almost identical lawsuit was filed on October 13, 2009 in the Tuscarawas County Ohio Court of Common Pleas with approximately 82 plaintiffs. These plaintiffs named Republic Services, Inc., Republic-Ohio, Waste Management, Inc., and Waste Management Ohio, Inc. as defendants. On February 10, 2010, the court issued an order consolidating the two actions. The relief requested on behalf of each plaintiff in the consolidated action is: (1) an award of compensatory damages according to proof in an amount in excess of $25,000 for each of the three counts of the amended complaint; (2) an award of punitive damages in the amount of two times compensatory damages, pursuant to applicable statute, or in such amount as may be awarded at trial for each of the three counts of the amended complaint; (3) costs for medical screening and monitoring of each plaintiff; (4) interest on the damages according to law; (5) costs and disbursements of the lawsuit; (6) reasonable fees for attorneys and expert witnesses; and (7) any other and further relief as the court deems just, proper and equitable. Based upon the representation made by counsel to the court, we believe that plaintiffs intend to dismiss the medical monitoring and personal injury claims and file an amended complaint. Answers have been filed in both cases and discovery is ongoing. We intend to vigorously defend against the plaintiffs’ allegations in the consolidated action.

Luri Matter

On August 17, 2007, a lawsuit was filed by a former employee, Ronald Luri v. Republic Services, Inc., Republic Services of Ohio Hauling LLC, Republic Services of Ohio I LLC, Jim Bowen and Ron Krall in the Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court in Ohio. Plaintiff alleges that he was unlawfully fired in retaliation for refusing to discharge or demote three employees who were all over 50 years old. On July 3, 2008, a jury verdict was awarded against us in the amount of $46.6 million, including $43.1 million in punitive damages. On September 24, 2008, the Court awarded pre-judgment interest of $0.3 million and attorney fees and litigation costs of $1.1 million. Post-judgment interest accrued at a rate of 8% for 2008 and 5% for 2009, and is accruing at a rate of 4% for 2010. Management anticipates that post-judgment interest could accrue through the middle of 2011 for a total of $7.7 million. Post-judgment motions filed on our behalf and certain of our subsidiaries were denied, and on October 1, 2008, we filed a notice of appeal. The Court of Appeals dismissed the appeal holding that the trial court had not entered a final, appealable order. The case was returned to the trial court for additional proceedings. The trial court issued the final, appealable order on March 3, 2010, and we filed our notice of appeal on March 29, 2010. The appeal is currently being briefed in the Court of Appeals. It is reasonably possible that following all appeals a final judgment of liability for compensatory and punitive damages may be assessed against us related to this matter.

Forward Matters

The District Attorney for San Joaquin County filed a civil action against Forward, Inc. and Allied Waste Industries, Inc. on February 14, 2008 in the Superior Court of California, County of San Joaquin. Forward and Allied each filed answers in November 2008, denying all material allegations of the complaint. The complaint seeks civil penalties of $2,500 for each alleged violation, but no less than $10.0 million, and an injunction against Forward and Allied for alleged permit and regulatory violations at the Forward Landfill. The District Attorney contends that the alleged violations constitute unfair business practices under the California Business and Professions Code section 17200, et seq., by virtue of violations of Public Resources Code Division 30, Part 4, Chapter 3, Article 1, sections 44004 and 44014(b); California Code of Regulations Title 27, Chapter 3, Subchapter 4, Article 6, sections 20690(11) and 20919.5; and Health and Safety Code sections 25200, 25100, et seq., and 25500, et seq. Although the complaint is worded very broadly and does not identify specific permit or regulatory violations, the District Attorney has articulated three primary concerns in past communications, alleging that the landfill: (1) used green waste containing food as alternative daily cover, (2) exceeded its daily solid waste tonnage receipt limitations under its solid waste facility permit, and (3) received hazardous waste in violation of its permit (i.e., auto shredder waste). Additionally, it is alleged that landfill gas measured by a monitoring probe at the property boundary has exceeded an action level of five percent methane. Discovery is currently underway. We are vigorously defending against the allegations.

On February 5, 2010, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region IX delivered a Finding and Notice of Violation to the Forward Landfill as a result of alleged violations of the Title V permit issued under the Clean Air Act. The facility is jointly regulated by the EPA and the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District. The alleged violations include operating gas collection wellheads at greater than 15% oxygen, experiencing a subsurface oxidation event on multiple occasions, and submitting inaccurate compliance certifications. We have met with the agencies and intend to vigorously defend against the allegations.

Litigation Related to Fuel and Environmental Fees

On July 8, 2009, CLN Properties, Inc. and Maevers Management Company, Inc., filed a complaint against the company and one of its subsidiaries in the United States District Court in Arizona, in which plaintiffs complain about fuel recovery fees and environmental recovery fees charged by the company or one of its subsidiaries. On July 23, 2009, Klingler’s European Bake Shop & Deli, Inc., filed a complaint against the company and one of its subsidiaries in the Circuit Court of Jefferson County, Alabama, in which plaintiff complains about fuel/environmental recovery fees and administrative fees charged by the company or one of its subsidiaries. The CLN Properties/Maevers complaint, as amended, purports to be filed on behalf of a nationwide class of similarly situated plaintiffs, while the Klingler’s complaint purports to be filed on behalf of a class of similarly situated plaintiffs in Alabama. Each complaint asserts various legal and equitable theories of recovery and alleges in essence that the fees were not properly disclosed, were unfair, and were contrary to contract. We filed motions to dismiss in both actions. On January 13, 2010, the court in the CLN/Maevers case granted our motion to dismiss in part and denied it in part. On June 28, 2010, plaintiffs filed their second amended complaint, which adds eight named plaintiffs to the action. The court scheduled a hearing on class certification for December 3, 2010. Plaintiff in the Klingler’s case voluntarily dismissed the action without prejudice on October 23, 2009 and subsequently re-filed a virtually identical complaint against a different subsidiary of the company on November 20, 2009. The court recently denied our motion to dismiss this new complaint but granted our motion to require plaintiff to state its claims in greater detail. Plaintiff filed an amended complaint on July 12, 2010. The plaintiffs in both actions have not specified the amount of damages sought. Although the range of reasonably possible loss cannot be estimated, we do not believe that this matter will have a material impact on our consolidated financial positions, results of operations or cash flows. We will continue to vigorously defend the claims in both lawsuits.

Imperial Landfill Matter

On May 18, 2009, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) and the Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD) presented to the Imperial Landfill a proposed consent order and agreement for a series of alleged violations related to landfill gas, leachate control, cover management, and resulting nuisance odor complaints, primarily in late 2008 and 2009. Both the PADEP and the ACHD subsequently issued additional notices of violation for similar alleged violations. On March 12, 2010, we signed a Consent Assessment of Civil Penalties (CACP) with the PADEP in connection with PADEP’s allegations of violations at the landfill through November 16, 2009. The total penalty amount in the CACP was $650,000. On April 12, 2010, additional orders were issued against us by both the PADEP and the ACHD for the allegedly continuing failure to bring the landfill’s odor issues under control. We have had settlement discussions with PADEP and have reached an understanding to settle all alleged violations from November 17, 2009 (the last date of the violations settled under the previous CACP) for $140,000. We expect that PADEP will withdraw its April 12, 2010 order and that the parties will execute a Consent Order and Agreement. We also have reached an understanding with ACHD to settle all outstanding violations through the date a settlement agreement is executed for $225,000. If a final settlement is not reached with each agency, we will vigorously defend against these latest orders.

Litigation Related to the Merger with Allied

On December 3, 2008, the DOJ and seven state attorneys general filed a complaint, Hold Separate Stipulation and Order, and competitive impact statement, together with a proposed final judgment, in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, in connection with approval under the HSR Act of our merger with Allied. The court entered the Hold Separate Stipulation and Order on December 4, 2008, which terminated the waiting period under the HSR Act and allowed the parties to close the transaction subject to the conditions described in the Hold Separate Stipulation and Order. These conditions include the divestitures of certain assets, which were completed by September 30, 2009. On July 16, 2009, the DOJ and the seven state attorneys general filed a motion seeking entry of the proposed final judgment. The court entered the final judgment, without any modifications, on July 15, 2010.

Proxy Disclosure Matter

In late 2009, a Republic stockholder brought a lawsuit in Federal court in Delaware challenging our disclosures in our 2009 proxy statement with respect to the Executive Incentive Plan (“EIP”) that was approved by our stockholders at the 2009 annual meeting. The lawsuit is styled as a combined proxy disclosure claim and derivative action. We are a defendant only with respect to the proxy disclosure claim, which seeks only to require us to make additional disclosures regarding the EIP and to hold a new stockholder vote prior to making any payments under the EIP. The derivative claim is purportedly brought on behalf of our company against all of our directors and the individuals who were executive officers at the time of the 2009 annual meeting and alleges, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty. That claim also seeks injunctive relief and seeks to recoup on behalf of our company an unspecified amount of the incentive compensation that may be paid to our executives under the EIP, as well as the amount of any tax deductions that may be lost if the EIP does not comply with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. We believe the lawsuit is without merit and is not material and intend to vigorously defend against the plaintiff’s allegations.

Contracting Matter

We discovered actions of non-compliance by one of our subsidiaries with the subcontracting provisions of certain government contracts in one of our markets. We reported the discovery to, and expect further discussions with, law enforcement and other authorities. Such non-compliance could result in payments by us in the form of restitution, damages, or penalties, or the loss of future business in the affected market or other markets. Based on the information currently available to us, including our expectation that our self-disclosure will be viewed favorably by the applicable authorities, we presently believe that the resolution of the matter, while it may have a material impact on our results of operations or cash flows in the period in which it is recognized or paid, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position.

Congress Development Landfill Matters

Congress Development Co. (CDC) is a general partnership that owns and operates the Congress Landfill. The general partners in CDC are our subsidiary, Allied Waste Transportation, Inc. (Allied Transportation), and an unaffiliated entity, John Sexton Sand & Gravel Corporation (Sexton). Sexton was the operator of the landfill through early 2007, when Allied Transportation took over as the operator. The general partners likely will be jointly and severally liable for the costs associated with the following matters relating to the Congress Landfill.

In January 2006, CDC was issued an Agreed Preliminary Injunction and Order by the Circuit Court of Illinois, Cook County. Subsequently, the court issued two additional Supplemental Orders that required CDC to implement certain remedial actions at the Congress Landfill, which remedial actions are underway. The remediation liability for CDC as of June 30, 2010 was $81.4 million, of which approximately $16.9 million is expected to be paid during the remainder of 2010. See Note 6, Landfill and Environmental Costs for more information. We are actively negotiating with the Illinois Attorney General and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) to settle this state court lawsuit. Most recently, on July 19, 2010, the Illinois Attorney General and IEPA submitted another draft of a consent decree. We are engaging in ongoing discussions with both agencies to reach a negotiated settlement, and have also been aggressively working to correct any violations alleged in the pending lawsuit.

In a suit originally filed on December 23, 2009 in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois and subsequently amended to add additional plaintiffs, approximately 2,000 plaintiffs sued our subsidiaries Allied Transportation and Allied Waste Industries, Inc., CDC and Sexton. The plaintiffs allege bodily injury, property damage and inability to have normal use and enjoyment of property arising from, among other things, odors and other damages arising from landfill gas leaking, and they base their claims on negligence, trespass, and nuisance. The plaintiffs originally requested actual damages in excess of $50 million and punitive damages of $50 million. On May 10, 2010, the court entered orders in our favor striking the ad damnum clause (the clause requesting actual and punitive damages in the specified amount of $50 million each), striking the trespass claims, and dismissing without prejudice the claims of minors. We intend to vigorously defend against the plaintiffs’ allegations in this action.

Livingston Matter

On October 13, 2009, the Twenty-First Judicial District Court, Parish of Livingston, State of Louisiana, issued its Post Class Certification Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law in a lawsuit alleging nuisance from the activities of the CECOS hazardous waste facility located in Livingston Parish, Louisiana. The court granted class certification for all those living within a six mile radius of the CECOS site between the years 1977 and 1990. We have filed a notice of appeal with respect to the class certification order, and we intend to continue to defend this lawsuit vigorously. The parties have agreed to participate in nonbinding mediation of this matter in January 2011.

Sunshine Canyon Matter

On November 17, 2009, the South Coast Air Quality Management District (District) issued a Petition for an Order for Abatement (Petition) as a result of a series of odor complaints alleged to be associated with the operations at the Sunshine Canyon Landfill located in Sylmar, California (Sunshine Canyon). The Petition described eight notices of violation beginning in November 2008 and continuing to November 2009. The District Hearing Board held an initial compliance hearing on December 17, 2009, which started the process of several days of hearings and negotiations over a draft Order for Abatement (Order). In January 2010 and February 2010, the District issued three additional notices of violation to Sunshine Canyon in response to alleged odor complaints at the landfill. On March 24, 2010, the District approved and issued a final Order which requires certain operational changes aimed at odor control, and further requires Sunshine Canyon to perform several studies regarding odor control techniques, equipment and site meteorology. Sunshine Canyon completed all its studies and on July 8, 2010, the District Hearing Board approved an amended Order suspending certain operational requirements contained in the initial Order pending completion of additional odor control studies. While the District has stated its intention to assess a penalty on Sunshine Canyon, it has not indicated the amount or type of such a penalty.

Multi-Employer Pension Plans

We contribute to 25 multi-employer pension plans under collective bargaining agreements covering union-represented employees. Approximately 17% of our total current employees are participants in such multi-employer plans. These plans generally provide retirement benefits to participants based on their service to contributing employers. We do not administer these multi-employer plans. In general, these plans are managed by a board of trustees with the unions appointing certain trustees and other contributing employers of the plan appointing certain members. We generally are not represented on the board of trustees.

Based on the information available to us, we believe that some of the multi-employer plans to which we contribute are either “critical” or “endangered” as those terms are defined in the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (the PPA). The PPA requires underfunded pension plans to improve their funding ratios within prescribed intervals based on the level of their underfunding. Until the plan trustees develop the funding improvement plans or rehabilitation plans as required by the PPA, we cannot determine the amount of assessments we may be subject to, if any. Accordingly, we cannot determine the impact that the PPA may have on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Furthermore, under current law regarding multi-employer benefit plans, a plan’s termination, our voluntary withdrawal (which we consider from time to time), or the mass withdrawal of all contributing employers from any under-funded, multi-employer pension plan would require us to make payments to the plan for our proportionate share of the multi-employer plan’s unfunded vested liabilities. It is possible that there may be a mass withdrawal of employers contributing to these plans or plans may terminate in the near future. We could have adjustments to our estimates for these matters in the near term that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Restricted Cash and Marketable Securities

Our restricted cash deposits and marketable securities include, among other things, restricted cash held for capital expenditures under certain debt facilities, and restricted cash and marketable securities pledged to regulatory agencies and governmental entities as financial guarantees of our performance related to our final capping, closure and post-closure obligations at our landfills, as follows:


	June 30,		December 31,
	2010		2009
Financing proceeds	$	80.1	$	93.1
Capping, closure and post-closure obligations		60.7		62.4
Self-insurance		158.9		65.1
Other		15.5		19.9

Total restricted cash and marketable securities	$	315.2	$	240.5

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet debt or similar obligations, other than operating leases and the financial assurances which are not classified as debt. We have no transactions or obligations with related parties that are not disclosed, consolidated into or reflected in our reported financial position or results of operations. We have not guaranteed any third-party debt.

Self-Insurance Reserves

Our insurance programs for workers’ compensation, general liability, vehicle liability and employee-related health care benefits are effectively self-insured. We carry general liability, vehicle liability, employment practices liability, pollution liability, directors and officers liability, workers’ compensation and employer’s liability coverage, as well as umbrella liability policies to provide excess coverage over the underlying limits contained in these primary policies. We also carry property insurance. Claims in excess of self-insurance levels are fully insured subject to policy limits.

In general, our self-insurance reserves are recorded on an undiscounted basis. However, our estimate of the self-insurance liabilities we acquired in the acquisition of Allied have been recorded at fair value, and, therefore, have been discounted to present value using a rate of 9.75%. Discounted reserves are accreted to interest expense through the period that they are paid. As of June 30, 2010, the remaining unamortized discount to the self-insurance reserves was $27.4 million.

Our liabilities for unpaid and incurred but not reported claims at June 30, 2010 (which includes claims for workers’ compensation, general liability, vehicle liability and employee health care benefits) were $421.1 million and are included in other accrued liabilities and self-insurance reserves, net of current portion in our consolidated balance sheets. While the ultimate amount of claims incurred is dependent on future developments, we believe recorded reserves are adequate to cover the future payment of claims. If recorded reserves are not adequate to cover the future payment of claims, adjustments to estimates recorded resulting from ultimate claim payments will be reflected in our consolidated statements of income in the periods in which such adjustments are known.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS	15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS In the third quarter of 2010, we refinanced certain of our tax-exempt financings, and we expect to refinance additional tax-exempt financings during the remainder of the year. We currently expect to incur a third quarter loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $19 million related to such refinancings. We have evaluated subsequent events through the date these consolidated financial statements were filed. No additional material subsequent events have occurred since June 30, 2010 that require recognition or disclosure in our current period consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (Policies) [Abstract]
Management's Estimates and Assumptions	These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include numerous estimates and assumptions made by management that affect the accounting for and recognition and disclosure of assets, liabilities, stockholders’ equity, revenue and expenses. We must make these estimates and assumptions because certain information that we use is dependent on future events, cannot be calculated with a high degree of precision from data available or simply cannot be readily calculated based on generally accepted methodologies. In some cases, these estimates are particularly difficult to determine and we must exercise significant judgment. The most difficult, subjective and complex estimates and assumptions that deal with the greatest amount of uncertainty relate to our accounting for our long-lived assets, landfill development costs, goodwill, and final capping, closure and post-closure costs; our valuation allowances for accounts receivable and deferred tax assets; our liabilities for potential litigation, claims and assessments; our liabilities for environmental remediation, employee benefit plans, stock-based compensation, deferred taxes, uncertain tax positions and self-insurance; and our estimates of the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired in our acquisition of Allied Waste Industries, Inc. (Allied). Each of these items is discussed in more detail in our description of our significant accounting policies in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. Our actual results may differ significantly from our estimates.
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities	In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an amendment to the accounting and disclosure requirements for the consolidation of variable interest entities (VIEs) that requires an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether its variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a VIE. Under this new guidance, an enterprise has a controlling financial interest when it has (i) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. An enterprise is required to assess whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that a VIE operates as designed when determining whether it has power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. It also requires ongoing assessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, requires enhanced disclosures and eliminates the scope exclusion for qualifying special-purpose entities. We adopted this new guidance on January 1, 2010. The impact of adopting this guidance did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
