$20,000 in Fines Paid by Advance Disposal Company

In April 2006, Advance Disposal Company has paid $20,000 in penalties to the California Air Pollution Fund for violating air quality regulations. An investigation by the ARB showed that Advance Disposal Company failed to properly self-inspect their diesel trucks to assure the trucks met state smoke emission standards. ARB documented violations as they related to the Periodic Smoke Inspection Program (PSI). To settle their case, Advance Disposal Company agreed to the $20,000 penalty and to comply with the PSI Program.
