Note: Blue figures indicate private sector service providers where VAT (payable at 13.5%) is levied on<br />

waste disposal costs. For consistency, the VAT has been deducted from these private sector costs for<br />

the final column to be comparative with international collection costs as investigated below.<br />

64.3 Comparisons to <strong>International</strong> Collection Costs<br />

64.3.1 Collection in Wales: Hitting 70% Recycling<br />

The most thorough publicly available report from WRAP on expected costs <strong>of</strong> kerbside<br />

collections is a recent study for Wales. 1281 For this report, modelling was undertaken<br />

<strong>of</strong> services designed to deliver up to the country targets <strong>of</strong> 70% recycling/composting.<br />

Data from this study is compiled in Table 64-6 (some interpretation <strong>of</strong> the data was<br />

necessary to generate collection costs per household including recycling<br />

income/sorting fees, the figures are calculated based on the data presented in the<br />

report). Here, the collection only costs per tonne from Figure 10 in the WRAP report<br />

(using a relatively generous £1 to €1.33 exchange rate) together with yields and gate<br />

fee data suggests that a commingled fortnightly bin recycling service alongside a<br />

fortnightly refuse collection ought to be deliverable at a maximum collection cost <strong>of</strong><br />

€73 per household per annum. The systems modelled here are somewhat more<br />

comprehensive to the Ireland alternating fortnightly collections and yet they again are<br />

much lower than the Ireland costs evaluated for Table 64-5.<br />
