( 1 ) core volume growth for the year ended december 31 , 2006 includes .8% ( .8 % ) associated with hauling waste from the city of toronto to one of our landfills in michigan . this hauling service is provided to the city at a rate that approximates our cost . ( 2 ) includes the impact of the acquisition of allied in december 2008 .
