[edit] Size?

What is the criteria for being "major"? In Denmark, 100 trucks might be "major", while that could be "small" in US. How much money does a "major" company make? G®iffen 16:27, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Good question. I don't have an answer!--Alex 09:38, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Size II

I would also like to ask this question. I posted a link to Select A Skip, which is the UK's 2nd largest skip hire company and it was removed.

It was removed as the page wasn't created as a directory with external links to waste management companies. I also believe the other skip company isn't particularly notable.--Alex 09:39, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Geography

Wouldn't it be smart to divide this list in countries? After a few years a mixed list might be quite confusing... G®iffen 16:27, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes perhaps, however a lot of these are multinational with operations crossing international boundaries--Alex 09:38, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Try to look here and see if I'm nuts or it can be used or modified? Divided in continents and subdivided in countries. G®iffen 10:58, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
How would you deal with the multinationals- most of these listed here are just that.--Alex 09:06, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
In my example (linket 2 steps above this) multi's should be at the "Intercontinental" section or in a continent section. Alternatively one should list after country of HQ and add (US)(UK)(Spain) etc. after each? Preferably in alfabetical order? I'm open for other solutions. G®iffen 20:30, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
I added Triumvirate Environmental as a major waste management company, it never posted. Please add
