Comprehensive Review of S olid W aste Collection and Disposal Options v2.1 A -15 10/22/12 truck for bulky waste pickup). This would have to be considered prior to any decision to eliminate staff positions.  Fleet Usage/Maintenance Charges. SCS assumed the fleet use charges associated with the front loader collection vehicles would be eliminated from the budget with the elimination of Commercial Collections services.  Fuel. SCS assumed a significant reduction in fuel charges, proportional to the two (2) front loader vehicles not operating.  Vehicle Replacement Cost. SCS assumed that the vehicle replacement costs allocated in the budget would be eliminated if the Commercial Collection services were eliminated.  Tip Fees. SCS assumed the Town would no longer be responsible for paying tip fees for all commercial accounts. If the Town were to entirely eliminate the Commercial Collection services, SCS estimates that the Town could realize approximately $849,000/year in reduced costs; however, approximately $376,000/year in revenues would be lost, for a net savings of approximately $473,000/year (see Exhibit A-12). Furthermore, SCS would note that with the elimination of these Commercial Collections services, the Town would need to consider these cost impacts to its public sector customers (i.e., public housing, parks and recreation, government offices,, etc.) and allocate these costs to these departments accordingly. Eliminate Commercial -Business Collection Services Similarly, SCS evaluated the costs and revenue changes that would occur if the Town were to eliminate the commercial-business collection services, but maintain the multi-family collection.
