| Description | In this paper we decompose the process of the municipal waste management expenditures evaluation, and we construct a method for their analysis which, based on inputted variables, calculates “minimal value” of expenditures per municipal waste ton that municipality should spend. Through these variables the method should be able to reflect the uniqueness of each analysed municipality and take into account its size, amount of produced municipal waste, as well as distance from the waste disposal facility and waste disposal rates. Calculated expenditures/costs per waste ton are compared with the real expenditures in selected group of 22 large municipalities with population of 10 thousand citizens and more. This method could help municipalities with negotiation of the better prices with the waste collection companies and therefore lead to the increased efficiency of municipal expenditures on waste management. |
