(Table Cowmey, of pee University of Mss chigan Transporrafton Research /ns61La) Schwartz devised a formula using these fac tors. He then factored in the life expectancy of Roseville street and the cost per mile of reconstructing that road ( approxmately $500,000 to reconsmuct one mile of 7ton street). Using his calculations he said by limiting the number of garbage trucks on a Roseville street to approximately one hauler, it could extend the life of the street 5 to 10 years. Md based on the assessment charged to atypical homeowner that could save the homeowner twenty to forty dollars a year . The report from the University of Miclvgan also shows that repeated starting and stopping (espe- cially stopping) will increase the damage to streets by 50% to 100% depending on the speed of the truck and the weight of the load being carried Trucks with few stops on a block tend to be traveling faster when they begin stopping. Nteraattve Systems Cities such as Minneapolis that have municipal collection have been using city crews and trucks for many years. To start up a system of municipal collection would require a significant invest ment of money to purchase the trucks and hire the additional staff That is why few ifmyMni- esota cities continue to use or are switching to municipal collection . That is also why the Committee chose not to consider municipal collection as an option. However a number of cities are continuing to use or are switching to other forms of organized collection that use private haulers. Organized collection of waste is when a city arranges for collection s ervices on behalf of residents. Cities do this for a number of reasons including lowering cum to residents, lessening truck traffic on city streets, designating a disposal facility for the garbage in order to meet environmental goals, setting enforceable customer service stan- dards and expanding the number of services available to residents. Organized collection is cheaper for residents because haulers are able to save money with the more efficient system of collection and that savings is passed on to residents. mt CN_ � �,.ank 32 IMO Is 3.4 46 Ihn4 18 I'm 11 an'134 Lem 22 3 MkT� so 284134 „s, Y�72a 9 gar �W. 140 �Mzxrxzj Mass (Table Cowmey, of pee University of Mss chigan Transporrafton Research /ns61La) Schwartz devised a formula using these fac tors.
