WHAT CAN MINNEAPOLIS EXPECT Variable New Minneapolis Recycling Program Collections Increase citywide recycling weight by 20% to 40% Average Commodity Prices Similar to current program commodity prices (Market driven). Processing Costs Estimate $60 to $80 per ton. Residual Rates 1% to 4% Avoided Tipping Fees Saves the city $45/ton Operational Costs More efficient. Details of operational changes need further investigation.
WHAT CAN MINNEAPOLIS EXPECT • A new recycling program will increase the amount of waste recycled in Minneapolis. • Depending on its features (one sort or two sort) and accomplishments, a new recycling program will either cost slightly less or somewhat more than the current program. • The overall cost per ton recovered will be reduced.
