The CIF has made development of cost allocation models a priority to assist municipalities in the accurate development of information for planning purposes. This project is intended to ‘ground truth’ a model developed by CIF for determination of collection costs which represents the majority of Blue Box operating costs. The...
A three-phase study to develop a standardized methodology for evaluating the impact(s) of adding and/or removing materials to/from individual Blue Box programs. Phase 1 will result in the development of a set of allocation principles through broad public input. Phase 2 will result in a model based on the allocation...
This work updated the Activity Based Costing (ABC) model for Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs) completed under CIF Project 924 to further refine the principles, methodology, and common data inputs for assessing the true costs of processing residential blue box material commodities, particularly the costs of processing different material streams and...
The City of Cornwall will undertake an activity-based costing (ABC) study of its MRF operations using the CIF’s ABC model. This study will help the City gain a better understanding of current costs associated with the management of their Blue Box materials and aid the municipality in preparation for transition. Documents
Waste studies undertaken by CIF and many municipalities over the years had produced hundreds of waste composition data sets, which were most often utilized and archived independently for each individual project. The purpose of this project was to develop a tool for aggregating, managing, tracking and analyzing these types of...
The objective of the North-Eastern Ontario: Service Delivery Model Option Development & Evaluation is to complete a detailed analysis of cost implications and feasibility of the recommendations outlined in the MIPC commissioned Study of the Optimization of the Blue Box Material Processing System in Ontario (June 2012). Local analysis will...
The CIF offered training sessions on the IPR Transition Financial Planning Model (See Project #1115/1116). Training provided an overview of inputs for the model and outline the utility of outputs with respect to future cost considerations. The model aims to identify the financial implications of transitioning to IPR on various...
This project involves modeling of standard hauling and transfer metrics to the Eastern Ontario wasteshed to determine how best to optimize the existing infrastructure and to assist the CIF in making informed decisions on capital investments in the area. An upset limit of $3,000 was established for this phase of...
