What does your waste actually cost?
Set your own figures against the running cost of an on-site incinerator. An indicative estimate — it compares operating costs, not the cost of ownership.
The waste
kg per month
What leaves the property today, before any processing.
USD per kg
All-in: labour, transfer and Wamco charges.
Running the machine
USD per litre
Delivered price on the island, not the Malé pump price.
USD per month
The operator’s time, once the machine is in service.

Indicative estimate only
These figures compare running costs, not the cost of ownership. They exclude the machine, installation, maintenance and spares, and the disposal of residual ash. A payback period needs all four, and needs your site — that is what a site assessment is for.
