处置城市固体废物最常用的方法是将其埋在卫生填埋场。然而，许多堆填区业主只考虑土地和营运成本，而忽略与堆填区有关的外部物质和社会成本，严重低估堆填区处置的总成本。本文提出一种估算（以货币计算）堆填区发展和营运所产生的外部成本的方法。所有的成本信息都是基于典型的美国垃圾填埋场成本结构。通过将该方法应用于美国北卡罗来纳州达勒姆市拟建的垃圾填埋场的案例研究，说明了该方法的可行性。实例分析表明，该方法应用简单，结果合理。
The most common means for disposing of municipal solid waste is burial in a sanitary landfill. However, many landfill owners significantly underestimate the total cost of landfill disposal by considering only land and operating costs, ignoring external physical and social costs associated with landfills. This paper proposes an approach to estimating (in monetary terms) the external costs arising from the development and operation of a landfill. All cost information is based on typical U.S. landfill cost structures. The approach is illustrated by applying it to a case study of a proposed landfill in Durham, North Carolina (U.S.A.). This case study demonstrates that the method can be applied easily and yields reasonable results.
