| Using figures from WasteMatch. $200,000 annual budget, 1,388 tons diverted | |||||||||||||||
| Conclusion: Using figures based on WasteMatch's annual budget of $200,000 and waste diversion of 1,388 tons per year, the programs prove to be extremely cost effective. These figures assume that 1,388 tons is the highest amount of tonnage that can be diverted. It is more likely however, that once the programs are in place, that number would increase, increasing the savings as well. | If disposal costs are estimated at $95/ton(as in the plan) and if collection is estimated at $120/ton---Very Conservative |
