Fuel Charge
Advanced Disposal remains committed to controlling costs so we can continue to provide you with the best overall value in waste-related services. However, fuel prices are something we cannot control. Consequently, our invoices reflect a fee to help recover from the impact of fuel prices on our total expenses.
The fuel charge calculation is normally adjusted monthly and is tied to the lower Atlantic East Coast average price of diesel fuel as reported 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. If you have any questions regarding these charges, please contact your personal sales representative or the nearest Advanced Disposal facility.
