What is Unit  Based  Pricing?
                                                 Unit Based Pricing or"Pay-A-You-Throw" is a different
                                               way of paying for waste collection and disposal services.
                                               In some communities, it works on a per-container basis:
                                               households are charged for each bag or can of waste they
                                               generate. A few communities bill residents based on the
                                               weight of their trash. Either way, the system motivates
                                               people to recycle more and to think about ways to gen-
                                               erate less waste in the first place.
                                                 Residents in most communities have  come to expect
                                               efficient, reliable trash collection and disposal, and they
                                               tend to support those officials who can get the job done.
                                                 This task has been growing more  complicated, how-
                                               ever. First of all, it's likely that your residents are gener-
                                               ating more waste each year, even if you have a recycling
                                               program in place.
                                                 That can mean  escalating costs. Under  Unit Based
                                               Pricing, everyone pays only for what they generate—as a
                                               result  wastefulness is discouraged.  With  Unit  Based
                                               Pricing, when  residents recycle and prevent waste, they
                                               are rewarded with  a lower trash bill.
