Gate Fees Report 2008
WRAP has recently published the 2008 Gate Fees Report which provides the data and analysis you need to aid your decision making.
Until now, the lack of information available on the relative costs of different waste treatment and disposal options has made it hard to compare options and make the most economically and environmentally efficient choices.
The report shows a wide variation in gate fees, both across and within regions. Despite this, gate fees for different treatments are ranked broadly in line with expectations. For example, gate fees at material recovery facilities (MRFs) and for landfill are substantially lower than those for incineration; while open-air windrow (OAW) gate fees are lower than those for in-vessel composting (IVC) or mechanical biological treatment (MBT) facilities.
Looking forward, the study identifies the landfill tax escalator and increasing competition for some treatment options as key opposing drivers of gate fees.
The report will be repeated annually to ensure that the market continues to have access to up-to-date and relevant data.
