Up to me - I'd have Sunset raise trash rates and then rebate money to customers based on annual recycling rate. This creates a moral situation - if someone doesn't recycle or compost, they are reducing the size of their neighbors rebate. Non-compliant citizens (calculated by non-presence of blue/green bins at pickup) would have their rebate cancelled.<br /><br />The net effect is the same but is much more enforcable and feels like a carrot, not a stick.murphstahoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17378354136823393492noreply@blogger.com
