CONTAINER OVERAGES

Your weekly waste and recycling service is based on a predetermined per cubic yard rate monthly. Very much like purchasing gasoline, firewood or any product or service that requires a metered measurement.  Accordingly, overloaded containers are containers that have more waste or recycling in them than what has been agreed to in your monthly service cost.

Our goal is to keep your property clean and instead of not taking the extra waste when we are on site to service your waste or recycling containers, we instead capture a photo of the overloaded container and charge according for the volume present at the time we provided the service. Additionally, overloaded containers can be an eyesore for your place of business and our community, and create safety risks for our employees, such as;

• falling debris during servicing
• cracked windshields or truck damage
• loose highway debris during transport.

Anytime the container lids are opened more than 10 inches, or if there is debris stacked on top of the closed lids or if there is waste and or recycling around the dumpster, there is a safety risk to the public’s health and our employees.

In order to prevent this type of public nuisance, we assess an overage charge with the intent to right size your container.  The charge is based on the amount of the overage and the price may vary by area, type and amount of extra waste. Overages may range from $25 to $150.  

If you have been assessed an overage charge, please contact us and we will be happy to discuss service options that will keep your property clean and our drivers safe and help you avoid additional overage fees.   

Our trucks are equipped with GPS to help with any confusion regarding missed pick ups. If you feel that we missed your location, we will be able to tell you whether or not we have already been there and at what time. To request a new pick up, please contact us or call us at (215) 675-8000.

Leck Waste Services is committed to controlling costs in order to provide our customers with the best overall value in waste-related services. As of April 1st, 2016 Leck Waste Services has adopted the standard waste industry fuel surcharge, which is used industry wide amongst national and public waste hauling companies. The new standard Fuel Charge is meant to help us cover these costs and achieve an acceptable operating margin. This Fuel/Environmental Charge is one line item on customer invoices that contains two separate components: a fuel surcharge component and a PA Bill 1060 Fee charge component which is a 2.75%.

The fuel surcharge is a Leck Waste Services charge that allows us to recover the increase in the cost of diesel and other hydrocarbon based fuels and products that the company uses in its business using a baseline cost for diesel ($1.69/gallon). This charge helps Leck Waste Services keep up with the changing costs of diesel and other hydrocarbon based fuels and products on a company-wide basis throughout North America, but especially the East Coast Atlantic Region, and allows us to achieve the operating margin we need to maintain the high level of service our customers expect.

Our standard fuel surcharge calculation is tied directly to the national average price of diesel fuel as reported weekly by the Energy Information Administration of the U.S. Department of Energy (“EIA/DOE”) in its Weekly Retail On- Highway Diesel Prices Index. This index is objective, publicly available and widely recognized in the trucking and transportation industries. Tying our fuel surcharge to this index ensures our customers are assessed a fuel surcharge that is currently adjusted, easy to calculate, and equitable to our customers and the company.

The EIA/DOE average is published each Monday and will be used for invoices created during that week.

Not a Governmental Tax; Future Changes

The Fuel/Environmental Charge is not a tax or surcharge imposed by or remitted to any governmental or regulatory agency; it is our charge. The Fuel/PA Bill 1060 Charge percentages may be changed at the discretion of Leck Waste Services. To the extent required by a customer’s applicable service terms, such customer’s consent to the assessment of the Fuel/Environmental Charge, and any changes to such charge, is effective upon such customer’s payment.

This charge helps us keep up with the changing costs of diesel fuel and provides the stability we need to continue to maintain the high level of service our customers expect. Fuel charges are common in the transportation industry and are charged by other waste haulers, trucking companies and national airline carriers.

Yes, if the EIA/DOE’s national average diesel price falls, your fuel surcharge component will come down as well. Tying the charge to this publicly reported price allows us to be responsive to fuel cost changes.

Here is the link to the EIA/DOE. This site is updated every Monday evening.

Our fuel surcharge uses a $1.69/gallon baseline diesel rate, regardless of when a customer’s contract begins or renews. We believe employing a fuel surcharge that uses a common baseline rate for the company’s customers is the best approach, as it results in a uniform fuel surcharge that can be calculated by our customers by referring to the posted fuel surcharge table.

Any rate of fuel on the EIA/DOE East Coast (PADD1) below $1.70 a gallon will remain at 1% fuel surcharge added to the monthly invoice.

The fuel surcharge will be an average of the last four posted rates from the EIA/DOE East Coast (PADD1) prior to the customer’s monthly billing.

Our trucks are equipped with GPS to help with any confusion regarding missed pick ups. If you feel that we missed your location, we will be able to tell you whether or not we have already been there and at what time. To request a new pick up, please contact us or call us at (215) 675-8000.

The use of electronic products has grown substantially over the past two decades. These complex devices are made of a wide variety of materials such as lead, nickel, cadmium, and mercury, could pose risks to human health or the environment if mismanaged at their end-of-life. Recovering valuable materials found in recycled electronics will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reduce pollution, save energy, and save resources by extracting fewer raw materials from the earth.

Desktop and laptop computers, computer monitors, TV’s and many other electronics often contain lead, cadmium or mercury which are toxic metals and have the potential to negatively impact the environment if disposed of improperly.

Pennsylvania CDRA or Act 108 expands it’s reach on January 24th, 2013, in which the disposal ban on covered devices becomes effective after which no resident may dispose of a covered device. On this date, residents will be required to use an electronic collection program to recycle their covered devices.

Some of the items we accept are: home electronics, stereo equipment, industrial equipment, wires, car batteries, plasma televisions, tube televisions, various adapters, cell phones, office phones, phone systems, circuit boards, radios, metals. We also accept common Electrical Appliances such as washers, dryers, stoves, air conditioners, refrigerators, microwave ovens, satellite dishes, space heaters, irons, hair dryers, vacuums, power hand tools.

Mostly any condition is acceptable to recycle electronics.

During peak times of the year, it is best to make your reservation as far in advance as possible. We recommend at least 72 hours in advance. For large special events or job sites, a week or more lead time is advisable. For urgent needs we may be able to deliver toilets the same day.

We can service portable toilets once per week. This is done to keep the units fully stocked, clean and sanitized. The fee for the toilet includes the use of the restroom and once a week service. We can provide service more frequently if required.

Yes! Our Standard Restrooms are reserved only for special events and parties, and have never been used at a construction site.

Our Restroom Cleaning Supply Company has experimented with several different ecologically friendly anti-freeze options to keep the water from freezing in the tanks during the winter months in northern locations. The anti-freeze is mixed in with the deodorizing water that is placed in the tank and works to keep the water fluid and unfrozen during colder temperatures. All products used are acceptable to our waste water facilities.

Most city or township ordinances specifically spell out the requirement of a portable toilet on a construction site and inspectors will require that a portable toilet is ordered and either placed on site or on its way before approving the inspection. In addition, OSHA requires a portable toilet on a construction site under the Safety and Health Regulations for Construction (1923.51 (c) (1), 1926.51 (c) (3), (I), (ii), (iii), (iv) ). For information regarding specific city or country ordinances contact the city where construction is occurring.

Our restroom supplier company has adopted a damage waiver program as another service to help reduce your exposure to damages when renting a portable toilet. The damage waiver is an optional provision, which will eliminate back charges for damages that occur as a result of accidents, vandalism or weather related problems. This coverage protects you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You are covered for minor damage regardless of who caused the damage to the portable restroom. When you consider the costs for a replacement unit or equipment, the damage waiver is indeed a small price to eliminate the risk. Although the majority of our customers want the damage waiver, it is not mandatory. Ask your customer service representative about details on declining the damage waiver. By declining the waiver, you will accept full responsibility for any damage other than normal wear and tear.

Upon request in some areas, Leck may offer uniquely designed stakes that fit securely over the four skids on each side of the unit to anchor the unit securely to the ground, eliminating the problem of your portable restroom being tipped over in areas of high wind.

By providing a portable restroom on your job site you can reduce the distance employees must travel to use a restroom as well as the time employees must spend searching for an alternative facility because no nearby restroom has been provided. The following chart was developed in a study conducted by the Portable Sanitation Association International (PSAI).

Leck’s Restroom Company provider offers portable wheelchair restrooms that are ADA compliant for use on a construction site, commercial area, or special event in some areas. Where available, our ADA units are large enough and obtain the proper elements to meet the standards that have been outlined by the Americans with Disabilities Act. Specifically, the statute states that for single user portable toilets clustered at a single location, at least 5% but no less than one toilet unit shall be installed at each cluster whenever typical inaccessible units are provided. Accessible units shall also be identified by the International Symbol of Accessibility. The exception is that if portable toilet units are used exclusively by construction personnel who to not require the use of an ADA unit, you are not required to comply with this statute.

Yes! Our Standard Restrooms are great for weekend parties, or even a one day party. It is always best to call at least two days prior to your event to ensure proper delivery times.

The waste water is taken to local waste water facilities and disposed of according to the regulations, procedures and sanitary conditions required by the facilities.

Special Events Calculator

We provide all billing and service questions regarding the use of the portable restroom. However, we use licensed service providers to clean and sanitize the restrooms. Therefore the delivery, removal and service may be provided by another licensed liquid waste hauler other then Leck.
