Fascinating...just utterly fascinating! Let's see - about 900,000
people on
Oahu. Estimated cost of shipping the trash to the mainland is $9.9
million
plus $7.8 million in lost dump fees for a total cost to Oahu of some
$17.7
million a year. That'll be about just a bit less than $20 a person
living
on Oahu per year. Now that's not too bad.
