Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 12. Business Segment Information Avalon’s reportable segments include waste management services and golf and related operations. In determining the segment information, Avalon considered its operating and management structure and the types of information subject to regular review by its “chief operating decision maker.” On this basis, Avalon’s reportable segments include waste management services and golf and related operations. Avalon accounts for intersegment net operating revenues as if the transactions were to third parties. The segment disclosures are presented on this basis for all years presented. Avalon’s primary business segment, the waste management services segment, provides hazardous and nonhazardous brokerage and management services to industrial, commercial, municipal and governmental customers and manages a captive landfill for an industrial customer. The golf and related operations segment includes the operations of golf courses and related facilities and a travel agency. Revenue for the golf and related operations segment consists primarily of membership dues, greens fees, cart rentals, merchandise, tennis, spa services and food and beverage sales. Avalon does not have significant operations located outside the United States and, accordingly, geographical segment information is not presented. In 2012, one customer accounted for 14% of the waste management services segment’s net operating revenues to external customers and 10% of the consolidated net operating revenues. In 2011, one customer accounted for 22% of the waste management services segment’s net operating revenues to external customers and 18% of the consolidated net operating revenues. The accounting policies of the segments are consistent with those described for the consolidated financial statements in the summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 2). Avalon measures segment profit for internal reporting purposes as income (loss) before taxes. Business segment information including the reconciliation of segment income to consolidated income (loss) before taxes is as follows (in thousands):
