RECYCLING AND TRASH
CONTAINERS
4 40
cubic yard containers ($5,983.00 each)
Freight
($1,300.00 for full load of four)
The
containers are needed to provide construction and demolition service to customers.
Customers are charged rental fees, pickup fees, and landfill fees for use of
the containers. The containers are
generally purchased from one of three vendors in the area since these vendors
provide containers of good quality that meet our specifications, and are able
to provide a lower cost per container because of short shipping distances. Freight costs are a significant component of
container purchases. In addition, standardization is more efficient for
maintenance operations.
Going
out for bids for containers is almost impossible at this time due to the
rapidly rising cost of steel and shipping.
Therefore most vendors will not hold their prices. Presently, it is necessary to contact vendors
for current prices. The vendor that
provided the lowest quote will hold his price for three weeks.
