are shown for each city and hauler. The breakdowns of the costs are shown for each service using the best data provided. In some instances, for the cities with an open MSW collection system, more surveys were returned for one level of service than another for a particular hauler. For example, in Woodbury, surveys were returned with rate data for three different haulers. The rate information provided for one hauler is for the 90 gallon container service. The rate information provided for the second hauler is for the 30 gallon container service. Two surveys were returned with rate information for the 60 gallon container and two for the 90 gallon container service for the third hauler. Also, in some instances, only data for one service level was provided for a particular city and a particular hauler. For example, only data for the 60 gallon service was received for Eagan, but from three households and two different haulers. 3.3.1 Comparisons The cost for the different service levels vary by city and by hauler. Generally speaking, the 30 gallon container service is the lowest rate and the 90 gallon container service is the highest rate. A city with an open MSW collection system usually has multiple haulers that charge residents a range in rates for the same basic service. For example, 45 surveys were received from residents in the city of St. Paul (open MSW collection system and an organized recyclable material collection system). St. Paul contracts with Eureka Recycling for residential recyclable material collection service. The average monthly cost per household paid by St. Paul to Eureka for recycling services was reported by the City to be $2.25. (Eureka is paid by the ton recycled rather than by household). Of the 45 surveys completed for the city of St. Paul, there are 13 of the 17 different MSW haulers represented and each hauler charges a different rate for the different levels of garbage service. Table 3-3 shows a range of a sample of monthly rates charged to residents for garbage collection services from each hauler reported in St. Paul. These rates include taxes, solid waste fees, and surcharges paid to the haulers as provided by the participants. The rates do not include yard wastes or bulky wastes. The monthly rates in Table 3-3 also do not include the $2.25 that is charged each month for recycling collection. One resident who uses Hauler H for garbage collection pays $16.00 per month for the 30 gallon container service. Another resident who uses Hauler K pays $41.00 per month for the 30 gallon container service. 52 •Foth Infrastructure & Environment, LLC R - Analysis of Waste Collection Service Arrangements.doc June 2009
