As landfills fill up and recycling oppor-
tunities increase, more communities
across the nation are interested in reducing
waste disposal and its costs. City manag-
ers are considering a variety of strategies to
improve incentives to recycling and com-
posting, as well as to increase the variety of
materials that can be recycled or composted.
Currently, in most parts of the country,
garbage is removed once or twice a week
with revenues coming from a portion of
property taxes or from a flat fee-for-service
system that does not vary with respect to
the amount of garbage taken away.
Neither of these methods provides any
incentives to reduce waste, and, facing large
volumes of solid waste, areas using these pay-
ment methods have sometimes implemented
mandatory recycling programs to reduce the
volume of their solid waste stream.
