Text: 176 . Connecticut Sheet Metal Co. (CSM): This company denied disposing any hazardous wastes at the Beacon Heights landfill. However, in deposition testimony, CSM admitted disposing of packaging materials, cardboard boxes, wooden crates with nails or staples, paper wrapping, and other office wastes. On this basis, Dr. Brown concluded that CSM's waste included trichloroethylene, diethyl phthalate, trichloroethane, and lead. The district court granted summary judgment despite the existence of a triable issue. 177 . Derby Tire Co., Inc.: Derby Tire disposed of scrap tires at Beacon Heights. The district court granted summary judgment because tires are not listed as hazardous substances by EPA. See our conclusion, supra, in Steve's Tire. 178 . Meyers & Schwartz, Inc.: The district court granted summary judgment here for the same reasons that it granted summary judgment to Derby Tire. See our conclusion, supra, in Steve's Tire. 179 . Waterbury Companies, Inc.: Waterbury Companies' business is manufacturing plastic moldings and brass metal stampings. Time-Mist, once a division of Waterbury Companies and now merely a product line, manufactured timed aerosol dispensing devices. This appellee disposed of office waste, including paper, lunch wastes, and damaged plastic goods, in the Murtha landfills. Waterbury denies knowing that any component of its disposable waste by-product contributed to the pollution at the facilities. Dr. Brown concluded, based on this evidence, that trichloroethane, diethyl phthalate, and lead--hazardous substances also found in Beacon Heights landfill--were disposed of by this appellee. Despite Waterbury's contentions, the Brown affidavit did not rely on Waterbury's disposal of brass coils, greases, or pesticides. The district court granted summary judgment even though material facts remained genuinely disputed.
