Waste Management Plan Cost and Revenue Models

As part of the process of updating regional solid waste management plans, Morrison Hershfield developed detailed cost and revenue models to support the long term decision-making process. These models helped with evaluating different planning scenarios such as new facility implementation, service area consolidation and various tipping fee / taxation rates. (Peace River and Kitimat-Stikine, BC)

 

Solid Waste Infrastructure Costing and Business Case Analysis

Business case analyses were completed involving assessing capital and operating costs for various waste management scenarios. Scenarios included transfer stations, organics management facilities and waste-to-energy facilities. Long term cost models were developed to determine an overall cost per tonne for each scenario. These studies have been key to making long term decisions for facilities and potential locations. (Courtenay, BC)

 

Solid Waste Collections Support

The City of Wetaskiwin currently provides curbside garbage collection to its residents. Morrison Hershfield completed a full financial analysis of the City’s solid waste system and determined whether the City could introduce recyclables and organics collection streams, without increasing user fees. The City is currently exploring options to increase service levels based on Morrison Hershfield’s analysis. (Wetaskiwin, AB)
