The cost of municipal waste and separate collection - Efficient measures how to cut them down

Original language description

Most analyses dealing with the costs of the municipal waste management system focus on competition, ownership, quality of the service, economies of scale and density, or intermunicipal cooperation. Only a few of them consider system parameters that are under direct control of municipal representatives on a daily basis ? e.g. pickup frequency, number of collection points and their density, distance to collection points, curbside collection versus collection points (drop-off recycling), volume of bins/containers installed in the system. Our research aimed to fill this gap implementing dynamic factors that influence the total costs of the system-performance of the container-based collection, efficiency of the container-based collection network, or charging system. In contradiction to our assumptions these factors explain the intermunicipal variability in total costs per capita only marginally. The highest importance has residual waste production per capita, residual waste cost per ton and number of inhabitants per collection site (or economies of density). The dynamic factors influence the separate collection costs that depend on the efficiency of the container-based collection network of plastics, or on glass and plastics production, but also on number of containers for glass per km 2 , volume of installed glass containers (liter per capita), and type of charge. These results should be reflected by the implementation of the relevant measures aimed to decrease municipal waste management costs.
