Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Schedule of Segment Reporting Information, by Segment

The majority of the assets listed under the column labeled "other" include land, buildings and deferred taxes that are used by multiple segments, which makes them not appropriate to allocate. We consider such assets corporate assets. Expenses related to land and buildings, including property taxes, insurance and utilities, are allocated to each segment based on a formula. Depreciation expense for Recycling totaled $2.3 million, $2.6 million and $2.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Depreciation expense for Waste Services totaled $397.2 thousand, $404.7 thousand and $485.0 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Depreciation expense for Other totaled $624.5 thousand, $642.0 thousand and $625.4 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Amortization expense for Recycling totaled $641.0 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2013 and $750.0 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. We did not have any amortization expense in Waste Services or Other in any year.
