| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) or trash and debris. States that "Walker Manufacturing commissioned an independent research firm to conduct a survey to determine how Walker owners and operators handle their debris. The survey asked users to identify their method of handling debris, their mode of transporting debris, where they take it, how far they travel and how much, if anything, they pay for dumping it." Reports that "more than 75 percent of all those who responded to the poll use their mowers to pick up debris...Contractors reported collecting debris 65 percent of the time, compared to homeowners (58 percent) and municipalities and other users (48.3 percent)." Also states that "there are...costs associated with debris removal that go above and beyond the expense associated with handling debris on-site. The two biggest ones are dumping fees and travel time." Discusses different methods to handle debris and concludes that "in all cases, it's a matter of balancing equipment costs against the time and labor associated with handling the debris. The system...has to be both cost-effective and best suited for [the] application." |
