Hauler A — 23.2% Hauler B — 10.7% Hauler C —1.0% Hauler D — 1.0% Hauler E — 4.1 % Hauler F — 7.2% Hauler G — 0.4% Hauler H — 6.9% Hauler I — 1.4% Hauler J — 1.0% Hauler K — 0.3% Hauler L — 0.4% Hauler M — 2.1 % Hauler N — 1.2% Hauler O — 0.5% Hauler P — 0.5% Hauler Q — 0.4% Hauler R — 21.0% Hauler S — 16.5% The total number of accounts reported by the haulers was 4,707 households less than the total of single family residences reported by the city of St. Paul. However, the City also reported that they have routinely assumed that approximately 10% of the households in St. Paul do not contract for services. This includes households that "self haul" their garbage and households that share service. Therefore, the difference between total households eligible and the total reported by the haulers is consistent with the history reported by the City. When calculating the necessary distance a hauler must travel to service any household, the 4,707 households without service must be accounted. Therefore 87.3 feet multiplied by 4,707 households equals 410,921 feet. This distance must be apportioned to those receiving services. The total households reported at 65,746, minus 4,707 households that are not serviced, equals 61,039 households serviced. Dividing the distance of 410,921 feet by 61,039 households serviced, equals 6.7 feet per household. Adding this distance (6.7 feet) to the previously determined distance between households (83.7 feet) equals 90 feet (rounded). Knowing the market shares, number of households and distances between households, one can estimate the fuel consumption for the entire city's solid waste collection services. In Table 4-18 the haulers are listed in order of market share from largest to smallest. Once again, haulers with less than a 10% market share were grouped together. Haulers E and F were grouped together resulting a combined 14.1%. The remaining 13 haulers were grouped together as All Others because the reported/calculated market share was so small. This minimizes the effects these haulers with small market shares have on the overall fuel consumption data because it is not known whether the dwelling units calculated for those small haulers are spread throughout the city or a small concentrated area. The calculated consumption if each of the haulers collected their percentages of the entire city of 146,695 gallons provides an efficiency factor of 4.37. That is, the existing system uses 437% more fuel than an organized collection system is estimated to use.
