Solid Waste
How well a landfill operates is measured to a great extent by how environmentally responsible it is. However, landfills must also be economically responsible. Good intentions are fine, but to stay in business, the landfill must be financially sound. All landfills are unique, yet in spite of some variation, most sites exhibit some typical costs. For example, in our experience we have found that engineering costs represent only about 4 percent of the total cost of operation. Equipment costs often represent only about 18 percent of the total cost. In fact, airspace in a typical landfill accounts for the largest daily cost at over 60 percent of the total. You may not think of the airspace you use every day as having value, but it is, in effect, the product that landfills are in the business of selling. Based on your tipping fee, you probably use up $thousands each day in airspace inventory.
