a This cost does not include the city staff time to load trucks and drive to the landfill and fuel costs. Average truck hauling costs for city staff/trucks is $1,039 per truck (6 hours). Each truck averages about 9 tons per load to the landfill. On average, 40-50 tons per year of spoils are generated (Tom Zabinski, City of St. Cloud, personal communication, November 2022) b This value is based on the collection of about 25,000 cubic yards of street sweeping waste each year (in 2010). The total cost of $1 million included transportation and disposal of the material at a landfill. 25,000 cubic yards were converted to tons (35,000 tons) to determine cost per ton. c This is the total cost with state tax and county surcharge. d Delaware Solid Waste Authority (DSWA) accepts municipal solid waste from DSWA licensed collection vehicles at all transfer stations in the state.
