PCR Credit 9: Material Recovery Cost Transparency

/4. Post Collection Recovery (PCR)/PCR Credit 9: Material Recovery Cost Transparency

PCR Credit 9: Material Recovery Cost Transparency (1 point)

Reciprocal

Intent:

Provide transparency to the cost of recovering recycled and composted or digested materials.

Local Government and Industry Requirements:

â—Ź      Calculate the average cost per ton or per Household or per capita of processing and transporting of materials recovered from residential and nonresidential customers by/through the Local Government Program or the contracted Company’s program

â—‹      All materials collected through single or dual-stream recycling program, e.g.; Paper, Metal, Glass, Plastic and other materials

â—‹      Yard/Green Waste

â—‹      Food Waste

â—‹      Cost of managing contamination/residuals

â—Ź      Demonstrate how costs are covered. 

Potential Strategies:

â—Ź      Include program overhead and administrative costs in per ton/Household/capita calculations. These figures do not need to be reported separately, however.

â—Ź      Publicize results on the Local Government’s and Company’s website

â—Ź      Protect or mask proprietary information
