We make efforts to control our exposure to credit risk associated with these instruments by (i)&#xA0;placing our assets and other financial interests with a diverse group of credit-worthy financial institutions; (ii)&#xA0;holding high-quality financial instruments while limiting investments in any one instrument; and (iii)&#xA0;maintaining strict policies over credit extension that include credit evaluations, credit limits and monitoring procedures, although generally we do not have collateral requirements for credit extensions. We also control our exposure associated with trade receivables by discontinuing service, to the extent allowable, to non-paying customers. However, our overall credit risk associated with trade receivables is limited due to the large number of diverse customers we service. At December&#xA0;31, 2012 and 2011, no single customer represented greater than 5% of total accounts receivable.</font></p> </div>

Our Wheelabrator business provides waste-to-energy services and manages waste-to-energy facilities and independent power production plants. We also provide additional services that are not managed through our Solid Waste or Wheelabrator businesses, including our strategic accounts program that expanded with the acquisition of Oakleaf Global Holdings on July&#xA0;28, 2011 (&#x201C;Oakleaf&#x201D;), which are presented in this report as &#x201C;Other.&#x201D; Additional information related to our segments and to our acquisition of Oakleaf can be found in Note&#xA0;21 and in Note&#xA0;19, respectively.</font></p> </div>

A multiemployer defined benefit pension plan that has been certified as endangered, seriously endangered or critical may begin to levy a statutory surcharge on contribution rates. Once authorized, the surcharge is at the rate of 5% for the first 12 months and 10% for any periods thereafter. Contributing employers, however, may eliminate the surcharge by entering into a collective bargaining agreement that meets the requirements of the applicable FIP or RP.

The amendments to authoritative guidance associated with multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements became effective for the Company on January&#xA0;1, 2011.

We must make these estimates and assumptions because certain information that we use is dependent on future events, cannot be calculated with a high degree of precision from data available or simply cannot be readily calculated. In some cases, these estimates are particularly difficult to determine and we must exercise significant judgment. In preparing our financial statements, the most difficult, subjective and complex estimates and the assumptions that present the greatest amount of uncertainty relate to our accounting for landfills, environmental remediation liabilities, asset impairments, deferred income taxes and reserves associated with our insured and self-insured claims. Each of these items is discussed in additional detail below.

DescriptionOfSitesWithExpansion
Of the 32 landfill sites with expansions at December 31, 2012, 10 landfills required the Chief Financial Officer to approve the inclusion of the unpermitted airspace. Six of these landfills required approval by our Chief Financial Officer because of community or political opposition that could impede the expansion process. The remaining four landfills required approval due to local zoning restrictions or because the permit application processes do not meet the one- or five-year requirements.
