Accounting

On January 1, 2017, the City of Hastings created a solid waste landfill that it expects to reach capacity gradually over the next 20 years. If the landfill were to be closed at the current time, closure costs would be approximately $1.85 million plus an additional $790,000 for postclosure work. Of these totals, the city must pay $58,900 on December 31 of each year for preliminary closure work. At the end of 2017, the landfill reached 6 percent of capacity. At the end of 2018, the landfill reached 16 percent of capacity. Also at the end of 2018, a reassessment is made; total closure costs are determined to be $2.05 million rather than $1.85 million.
