Pay As You Throw

Merrymeeting · 03-12-2013, 10:15 PM

I'm not a fan of pay as you go. We had it in the town we lived in prior to moving to NH, and as others have noted, the abuses of the the system far outweighed the advantages.

It does amaze me each week how much we can recycle with attention. I estimate that at least 50% of our trash is now recycled with little effort other than paying attention to which bin to throw things in.

Even better, during winter, the paper products and stuff that needs to be shredded make great fire starters!
