(2) The labour expenses associated with the removal of illegally dumped goods removed by the place management section of city services was approximately $75,259 in the 2010 11 financial year.
City rangers also stored 274 cars at Mugga Lane, of which 185 were abandoned vehicles which were subsequently crushed for recycling of metal. The cost of towing these abandoned vehicles in the 2010-11 financial year amounted to $27,331. The cost of towing each abandoned vehicle is $99.75, and this money is paid to a contractor. These costs were fully recouped at $188 per tonne of metal when each car was crushed and recycled. This money is paid into the TAMS Directorate’s abandoned vehicle account to offset the cost of the work.
In the 2010-11 financial year, the total cost of waste disposal by city services was $352,000.
