Capital Dumpster Service does not currently have a manure hauler certificate. Only third party haulers that haul/land apply 100 tons/year or more are required to be registered as a Manure Hauler. Obtaining a Manure Hauler Certificate is a simple process and can be done fairly quickly. The rules regarding Manure Haulers are found in Section .1400 of 15A NCAC 02T.

We recently put a service out to bid and our lowest bidder was a company that we haven't used previously. I'm following up to make sure that they are permitted to haul our waste to the facility noted on their bid and that the facility is permitted to accept it. Having previously owned a company that went through the permit process, I'm very conscious that we verify all information and processes. Our waste consists of stall shavings (wood product) and horse manure. These are loaded into 30 yard dumpsters and hauled and disposed of. The low bid was from Capital Dumpster Service, LLC of Knightdale. They listed Wail Recycling at 520 Pristine Water Dr., Apex as their waste facility. I show that disposal facility as having permit 9240-MWP-2017. Would you please verify that these two companies are permitted to haul and accept our waste? If not, please direct me to where I can find that information. Thank you for your assistance with this matter.

Your firm is listed in the Statewide Uniform Certification (SWUC) Program database. This certification will remain in effect for four (4) years from the date of this letter. You must notify the HUB Office in writing within 30 days of any changes affecting your compliance with SWUC Program eligibility requirements, including changes in ownership, day-to-day management and operational control. Failure to notify the HUB Office of these changes or reapply for certification in a timely manner may cause your HUB Certification to be revoked. In addition, please be advised your status may be changed if there is a 3rd party challenge granted against your firm. The link to the HUB Office 3rd party challenge form can be located at http://www.dos.nc.gov/hub/documents/ThirdpartyEligibilityChaliengerev080811.pdf. All information submitted to the Office for Historically Underutilized Business is subject to audit and review. The HUB Office collaborates with local Minority/Women/Small Business (M/W/SBE)Offices who offer assistance to certified HUB firms with identifying contract opportunities with state and local government. Many of these offices also offer assistance with business development. Please visit our website at http:/fwww.doa.nc.gov/hub/programs.aspx7pid=swuc to locate the local office near you. Another great resource is the Small Business and Technology Development Center at www.sbtdc.org for free personalized business assistance and counseling. It is important to note that although your status as a certified HUB firm greatly improves your access to state and local government contracts, this certification does not guarantee contract awards. Your ability to research opportunities and bid competitively will be important to your success in this program. We are committed to assisting you through the process with the completion of the Preliminary Business Development and Supportive Services Assessment Survey, located on the HUB Office website under the Certification Tab. The information will provide an overview of your company which will assist us in appropriately aligning contract opportunities that you are ready, willing and able to persue. Thank you for your interest and participation in the SWUC Program as a Historically Underutilized Business firm with the State of North Carolina, Sincerely, Tammie Hall Tammie Hall Director State of North Carolina I Office for Historically Underutilized Businesses 116 West Jones Street, Suite 4109 11336 Mall Service Center I Raleigh, NC 27699-1336 (919) 807-2330 T O. %if, CHATHAM COUNTY NORTH CAROLINA CHATHAM COUNTY PRIVATE HAULER PERMIT 2021 Brooks Contractor Permit # 0321 Permit Expires: 1/31/2022 Justin Taylor Solid Waste Manager ACOROr CERTIFICATE OF LIA THIS CERTIFICATE IS ISSUED AS A MATTER OF INFORMATION ONLYAND CERTIFICATE DOES NOT AFFIRMATIVELY OR NEGATIVELY AMEND, EXTE BELOW.
