</I></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in">In response to the comments
received above, we have included additional disclosures to the Company&rsquo;s Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30,
2018, filed on July 25, 2018 with the SEC (the &ldquo;<U>Form 10-Q</U>&rdquo;). We respectfully ask the Staff to consider the disclosures
in the Form 10-Q relating to revenue recognition as a direct response to the comments above on a prospective basis.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in">As described in Note
5, &ldquo;Revenue&rdquo;, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Form 10-Q (&ldquo;<U>Note 5</U>&rdquo;), the
Company generates revenue by providing waste collection, transfer, disposal and recycling services, non-hazardous exploration and
production waste treatment, recovery and disposal services and intermodal services. The factors that impact the timing and amount
of revenue recognized for each service line may vary based on the nature of the service performed. Generally, the Company recognizes
revenue at the time it performs a service. In the event that the Company bills for services in advance of performance, it recognizes
deferred revenue for the amount billed and subsequently recognizes revenue at the time the service is provided.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in">In accordance with ASC
606-10-50-5, we selected categories to present disaggregated revenue that depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty
of revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The objective of the Company&rsquo;s disaggregated revenue disclosure
is to provide the most useful information to users of the Company&rsquo;s financial statements based on categories that are meaningful
to the Company&rsquo;s business. The disaggregated revenue assessment requires judgment, depends on various entity-specific and
industry-specific factors and is not subject to a single prescribed factor as the basis for disaggregation.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in">Based on our evaluation,
we believe that the additional detail provided in Note 5 meets the disclosure objectives in ASC 606-10-50-5. We included a table
of disaggregated revenues reflecting a breakdown of our revenue by line of service. We also disclosed revenues by reportable segment
in Note 11, &ldquo;Segment Reporting&rdquo;, which further addresses the disclosure requirements under ASC 606-10-50-5. We continually
evaluate the most appropriate manner to disaggregate our revenues based on the evolution of our business and will revise our disclosures
in the future as necessary.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in">In accordance with 606-10-50-13
and 606-10-50-14, we disclosed in the &ldquo;Revenue Recognition&rdquo; section of Note 5 that we do not disclose the value of
unsatisfied performance obligations for our solid waste collection service contracts as our right to consideration corresponds
directly to the value provided to the customer for services completed to date, and all future variable consideration is allocated
to wholly unsatisfied performance obligations. Solid waste collection revenue from sources other than customer contracts primarily
relates to lease revenue associated with compactors. Revenue from these leasing arrangements was not material and represented an
insignificant amount of total revenue for each of the reported periods.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in">In addition, in Note
5, we described significant judgments applied for each line of service including judgments related to the timing of satisfaction
of performance obligations and how the transaction price is determined in accordance with paragraphs 606-10-50-17, 606-10-50-19
and 606-10-50-20.</P>

3, &ldquo;Revenue From Contracts With Customers&rdquo;, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, for contracts with
an effective term greater than one year, we applied ASC 606-10-50-14A(b)&rsquo;s practical expedient that permits the exclusion
of unsatisfied performance obligations as our right to consideration corresponds directly to the value provided to the customer
for services completed to date, and all future variable consideration is allocated to wholly unsatisfied performance obligations.
In addition, we applied ASC 606-10-50-14a&rsquo;s optional exemption for performance obligations related to contracts that have
an original expected duration of one year or less. We applied ASC 340-40-25-4&rsquo;s practical expedient that permits an entity
to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset
that the entity would have recognized is one year or less.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in">In addition to the disclosures
described above, the Company has evaluated additional areas of the new standard for potential impact including discounts, free
service periods, rebates, and principal versus agent relationships, none of which resulted in a material impact on the Company&rsquo;s
consolidated financial statements.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">We would welcome the opportunity to discuss
