MEMORANDUM

FROM:
Craig

SUBJ:
Record
of
communication
with
Dan
Jarvis,
Eritech.

I
called
to
ask
about
the
minimum
charge
assumptions
they
experienced
in
handling
F006.
According
to
the
1995
BRS
they
generate
about
49
tons
per
year.
They
recycle
at
least
part
to
World
Resources.

They
have
the
recycler
pick
up
the
material,
and
consequently
do
not
face
any
minimum
charges.
He
said
they
are
charged
$300
per
super
sack.
Their
matierial
contains
large
amounts
of
iron,
about
20%
copper
and
nickel.
The
recycler
has
several
customers
in
the
area,
but
he
felt
it
would
be
a
substantial
cost
savings
if
the
material
could
be
pickup
in
larger
amounts.
He
noted
that
they
frequently
got
only
partial
loads
on
their
pickups
in
the
area,
increasing
costs.
However
this
he
felt
was
incorporated
into
their
charges.

I
told
him
some
other
generators
indicated
lower
charges–
about
$150
per
sack.
He
surmised
that
situation
was
the
result
of
more
valuable
metals
in
the
F006
than
is
typical
with
theirs.
