Determining the optimal landfall size: is bigger always better?

Article Abstract:

Simulation results based on a model of landfill costs express certain reservations with the currently held belief that disposing larger volumes of wastes in regional landfills is cost effective. By considering factors such as construction, operating, externality and political costs, the model reveals that the advantages of a larger consignment is offset by the increase in transportation charges and political costs of existing zonal facilities. Intended host facilities may encounter problems from regional partners.
