If the existing MSW disposal facility was expanded, current monthly costs to Minot residents for collection and disposal would be anticipated to remain consistent.
Based on current estimates, if MSW disposal was moved to a new site, it is anticipated that Minot residents would pay approximately an additional $1 per month and an additional $6 to $7 for disposal.
Based on cost estimates solicited for trucking MSW collected from City of Minot residents, it is anticipated that shipping MSW to other existing landfills would be significantly more expensive than either of the other two options, and therefore would be cost-prohibitive.
