Having the distances per household with a corresponding fuel consumption rate per household and the exact number of households serviced, the total fuel use by hauler can be computed. On the last row of data is the calculation for having a single truck service every household in Woodbury. The relational factor of fuel efficiency is 59,256 divided by 16,682, or 3.55. This means it takes 355% more fuel than would be necessary for a single vehicle. St. Paul St. Paul has an open collection system for its 65,746 households. With the numerous haulers involved in collection activities, there is substantial duplication of effort in providing services. Observations, due to the random scattering of serviced households combined with the absence of zoning collections (no one area is serviced on a particular day) made collecting field data difficult. Due to the similarities in geography to the city of Minneapolis, analysis of the field data (distance per household) for the city of Minneapolis was utilized. Both cities have roughly the same ratio of alleys to street collections and the lot sizes are very similar. Minneapolis distances between households averaged 83.7 feet (calculated during field observations in Minneapolis). This distance was used to model St. Paul. Actual households serviced and non -serviced counts were gathered both by observing collections and by inventorying haulers by counting carts at collection points in the alleys. Table 4-17 below shows this data.

Utilizing the reported residential account data for haulers in 2008 in St. Paul as reported to Foth by Ramsey County, the calculated market share for the haulers in St. Paul is as follows. 126 •Foth Infrastructure & Environment, LLC R - Analysis of Waste Collection Service Arrangements.doc June 2009
