Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block]
We use derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of changes in interest rates, both in anticipation of future debt issuances and to offset interest rate variability of certain floating rate debt issuances outstanding. We also may use derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of changes in natural gas and diesel fuel prices and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are accounted for by recording the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument in accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCL") as a separate component of stockholders' equity and reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. We continuously monitor our derivative positions and the credit ratings of our counterparties and do not anticipate losses due to non-performance. See Note 8 for a description of our debt instruments.

Natural Gas and Diesel Fuel Derivatives
From time to time, we may enter into derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of increases in natural gas and diesel fuel prices. For any instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, changes in their fair values are recorded directly to the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The effect of commodity hedge transactions was immaterial to the Consolidated Financial Statements for all periods presented herein.
