Abstract: This paper presents the results of a survey used to obtain cost and quality information on solid waste management systems in rural communities in Texas. Quality characteristics and cost budgets for typical collection systems using a sanitary landfill are presented. The relationship between per capita cost and community population is estimated for communities with populations ranging from five hundred to twenty-five thousand.
