Decrease your waste by more than 40% just by changing how residents pay for trash service. A pay-as-you-throw (PAYT) system charges for trash based on the amount produced, so putting out four cans of trash costs more than putting out one can. It’s more equitable, it’s e­ffective, and it’s been successfully adopted by more than 7000 communities in the U.S.
