Security Procedures

The following is an example of current security procedures. Additional procedures may be implemented at the customer's request to further ensure secure disposal.

Commencing with the acceptance of waste at a Covanta Waste-to-Energy facility, Covanta Secure Services guarantees secure disposal. To ensure security during transit, it is recommended that all deliveries have a coded seal placed on the door of the delivery trailer. Upon request, Covanta Secure Services will write the seal number on the manifest and/or the 48-Hour Preshipment Notification:

"The delivery arrived with seal number # intact"

The manifest and/or the 48-Hour Preshipment Notification will then be signed, dated and returned to Client.

Both the Covanta Secure Services Preshipment Notification and the Covanta Secure Services Manifest may serve as a Certificate of Disposal and will be returned to the Client shipping location.

Security Breech Action Plan

If a security seal is missing, the numbers do not match those on the manifest or it is determined that the seal has been tampered with in any way, Covanta Secure Services will proceed according to the following protocol:

  1. The truck will be placed in a secure location and the facility will contact the Fairfield Account Executive who in turn will contact the generator for directions on how to procede. If the generator cannot be reached, the truck will be sent back.
  2. Covanta Secure Services will not unload any materials from the delivery vehicle until clearance has been given directly from the Client representative.

Note: If a witness is scheduled, Covanta will not break the seal until the witness is present.

Security Protocol for Customer Less-Than-Load (LTL) Deliveries

In the event that two or more Customer locations have less than a truck load of material destined for delivery to a Covanta Secure Services facility, Customer may request an LTL pick-up. An LTL pick-up must meet the following criteria:

  1. Only materials from Customer, its subsidiaries and subcontractors are eligible for LTL pick-ups.
  2. Representatives from each location must concur with the LTL delivery arrangements.
  3. Customer facilities involved in an LTL delivery must discuss and coordinate the security needs and requirements applicable to the secondary loading process.

Security Audits

Covanta Secure Services encourages our customers to conduct scheduled Security Audits. All personnel conducting such surveillance will display proper identification, declare their purpose upon arrival at the facility and adhere to all Covanta Secure Services procedures and policies for site visits.
