[greenyes] MRF Costs

["Justin Stockdale" <jstockdale@no.address>]

While we are all debating the "cost"of recycling was wondering if y'all might be able help with cost on more specific terms.
I am in the process of developing a MRF in Santa Fe, NM and trying to work out a related cost analysis. We intend to retrofit a +/- 50 TPD MRF into New Mexico's Taj Mahal of trash, a 44,000 square foot transfer station exactly 8 miles from the landfill.....comical isn't it! Anywho, I am looking for overhead estimates on a similar facility; electric, equip. maintenance (baler and sortline), operating supplies, etc. Our proposed MRF will handle about 50 tpd, include a six position sort line with at least a cross belt mag and potentially an OCC screen. As labor situations vary widely in this business, I will cost labor based on local conditions.....but am looking for some experienced hard overhead costs.....
Any help will be greatly appreciated...and kept confidential if you like...
Thanks,
