Our pricing Is done through a modelingsystem so It Is not as simple for us as just putting In $10/bin or <br />$80 /ton. Would a pricing matrix such as this be acceptable pricing? This is by no meansthe actual <br />pricing. Our pricing just rewards people who do more as It does not double their cost directly to increase the <br />n um ber of bins they are using. It also takes into account a distance to closeststop but we will just use 1 <br />m lie assuming that everything is goi ng to be relatively concentrated. <br />a.
