DSNY Solid Waste Management Plan Evaluation
WASTE NOT, WANT NOT
Cheng Solutions evaluated the cost of service of the current interim trucking plan with rail and barge export from new marine transfer stations for the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) on behalf of the New York City Department of Sanitation (DSNY). We developed a solid waste and recycling waste generation model developed to forecast the expected tonnage going to the Marine Transfer Stations (MTS) and recycling facilities. We also created techniques to analyze operating margins of commercial waste haulers to advise DSNY on the competitive likelihood of commercial waste haulers using DSNY’s MTS facilities.
SIGNIFICANCE
It's no secret waste piles up quickly; being prepared to manage where and when it needs to go benefits us all every single day.
