Evaluation of a compartmentalized refuse collection vehicle for separate newspaper collection. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7216697
Information on the economic viability of a compartmentalized refuse collection vehicle for separate newspaper collection is presented. The compartmentalized vehicle is compared to the rack and separate truck approaches. A model is developed for analyzing alternative collection approaches to minimize and/or compare applicable costs. The three methods are analyzed for their cost-effectiveness when newspaper revenue is $8/ton and $25/ton. It is concluded that the compartmentalized vehicle is economically viable. Color illustrations are reproduced in black and white.
