For the year ended December 31, 2007, Allied Waste's revenue was $6.07 billion, an increase of $160.2 million, or 2.7%, over prior year. Continued strong pricing for the year of 6.0% was partially offset by a 3.5% decline in annual volumes driven primarily by a slowdown in housing construction.

While Allied Waste's residential hauling volume tends to be recession-proof, that accounts for only about 28 percent of collection revenues. Most of the sources of its other revenue - construction, roll-offs and disposal of special wastes - are sensitive to economic slowdowns.
