<br /> Benefits
<br /> lidprocessing these materials would be cot effective if (a) start -up costs were covered, (b) many communities would be
<br /> in 1ved, and (al reprocessing be less thsn disposing of materials. 'By joining together and sharing the service and
<br /> 4
<br /> pment, smaller eointnunities can participate in savings due to economies of scale that larger communities experience.
<br /> Ti a uet result will be better eummunity service anti less costs to pass along to taxpayers. Also, by reducing the flow of
<br /> en `al to landfills, mote space will be available for a longer time for other, more relevant material. This also reduces
<br /> community's expenditures for liao1ing the material long distances. Other measurable benefits include a reduced east to
<br /> 1 chase new ma i n tenance. materials annually. The amounts abated and the reduced amount of new materials needed to be
<br /> tau hosed annually will be the most direct measurable outcomes.
<br /> savings
<br /> e proposed project ,guarantees proportional saving to partner communities based on the amount of road maintenance
<br /> "ads used and recycled. Figures for recycling winter ice control and indicates that there will be added costs over the
<br /> pr ice of dumping street sweepings on public land. However, with the loss of that land, the alternative is a very
<br /> ex ensivc landfill praeticc. This project would virtually negate that enormous cost increase and retain a low-cost street
<br /> tenance operation for the member communities. As the tables above indicate, costs of iandfiuing would amotmt m
<br /> ap roximately $133 million. The results of the proposed recycling project, just for ice control sand alone, would amount
<br /> to 1$1.74 million. If the other road maintenance materials are added to this figure, savings would be even greater. Since
