| Abstract |
The costs of municipal solid waste (MSW) management services have risen steadily over the past decade. In 1992, the price tag for solid waste management in the United States was an estimated $30 billion, and this cost is still rising. Local government are trying to control MSW costs through a variety of measures, including restructuring waste services and encouraging waste reduction. Full cost accounting (FCA) provides decision-makers with a method of compiling detailed cost information on MSW services in their communities. Knowing what MSW management really costs enables local government officials to make informed decisions about their programs, identify opportunities for streamlining services, facilitate cost-saving efforts, and better plan for the future. This primer briefly explains what FCA is and how it works, along with its benefits and potential barriers. It also provides snapshot examples of how communities across the country are using FCA to improve the MSW operations. |
