1. Freaky can pay paint recyclers to remove the waste paint at a cost of $50 per kilolitre. The recycler would then process the waste into 5 kilograms of solid waste compound and dispose of this in landfill.
2. Rent a recycling machine which strips the residues and produces 10 kilograms of waster compound per kilolitre, which then needs to be disposed of in landfill. The annual rent of the machine is $15,000 and the operating cost is $0.30 per kilolitre
