Open systems result in more truck traffic on the residential streets as each company uses their <br />collection vehicles to service customers. The increased truck traffic leads to increased concerns <br />regarding the impact on streets and the potential for increased truck emissions, traffic accidents, <br />and aesthetic issues. <br />Open systems are more likely to allow haulers to find the lowest cost disposal option (including <br />transportation costs), but this also results in exposure to liability at more than one location. Open <br />systems also are more likely to allow certain waste hauling companies to internalize wastes to <br />their own transfer stations and/or landfills. This improves their competitive advantage for <br />hauling customers versus haulers who do not have their own transfer or disposal facilities. <br />2.1.2 Organized Systems <br />A comparison of the advantages (potential benefits) and disadvantages of organized collection <br />systems is shown in Table 2-2. <br />R - Analysis of Waste Collection Service Arrangements.doc Foth Infrastructure & Environment, LLC • 5 <br />June 2009 <br />
