This study examined the effects of unit-based waste disposal schemes (pay-as-you-throw or PAYT) on household recycling rates in Ontario, Canada. The author analyzed panel data from 223 municipalities over 10 years and survey data from 7 cities. A regression model found that municipalities with PAYT programs had higher recycling rates than those without, but the effectiveness of PAYT depended on consistent enforcement and bin size. PAYT was also found to potentially increase illegal dumping, especially in rural areas. The conclusions were that larger recycling bins and weighing increased diversion rates against higher administrative costs are important for PAYT programs.

Kerbside to Commodity - MRA Consulting Group (2017) Supporting Evidence and Analysis: A submission to Sustainability Victoria Over the past few years there has been significant improvement in kerbside recycling across Victoria. The statewide household recycling rate has aggrandized markedly as collection services have expanded to reach more households and cover a broader range of materials (Joseph, 2007).
This has been supported through improvements in technology and growth in Victoria‟s waste and resource recovery sector. While recycling has become an everyday activity for many households and the recycling rate has increased noticeably (in 2014-15 the Victorian community recycled 45 per cent of the municipal waste it generated), many recyclable materials that could be recovered and typically returned to the economy are still disposed of incorrectly or end up in landfill due to a lack of recovery options.

Twenty-four graduate and undergraduate Industrial Design and Design Management
students from the University of Kansas set studied the public waste and recycling system for the City of Lawrence, Kansas. Students also researched best practices broadly for waste and recycling. Business (economic), technology, and customer experience factors were considered. The result is a rough design plan for phased implementation of a more efficient, comprehensive waste management system for the City of Lawrence with the promise of increased convenience and significantly improved rates of household recycling behavior.
Lessons from the 2017 City Energy Efficiency ScorecardDavid Ribeiro
Want to learn how cities are reducing energy waste and becoming more sustainable? Take a look at these slides from an American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) webinar discussing the results of its 2017 City Energy Efficiency Scorecard.
The City Scorecard assesses 51 large US cities on local government efforts to increase energy efficiency. ACEEE scores cities by evaluating them in five areas: government operations, community initiatives, buildings, utilities, and transportation. We identify cities that excel and those that need improvement. We highlight actions they can take to do better.
Boston, New York, Seattle, Los Angeles, and Portland top the rankings of the 2017 edition, while Los Angeles, San Diego, Kansas City, and Phoenix are the most-improved since 2015. Here you can learn about cities' achievements, scoring trends, and best practices any community can pursue.

MEE 5901, Advanced Solid Waste Management
Unit II Assignment
This assignment will allow you to demonstrate the following objectives:
· Assess the fundamental science and engineering principles of solid waste management.
· Relate leadership and management principles to effective solid waste management.
Instructions: In this unit, the management of municipal solid waste starts to be viewed from the perspective of the local government. This involves looking at questions that need to be answered to properly develop waste management policies and practices for the community. Some of the economic aspects of waste management are explored, as all these activities need to be funded and budgeted and paid for by the community.
Answer the questions directly on this document. When you are finished, select “Save As,” and save the document using this format: Student ID_Unit# (ex. 1234567_UnitI). Upload this document to BlackBoard as a .doc, docx, or .rtf file. The specified word count is given for each question. At a minimum, you must use your textbook as a resource for these questions. Other sources may be used as needed. All material from outside sources (including your textbook) must be cited and referenced in APA format. Please include a reference list after each question.
1) Describe three key factors that help to determine the likelihood that a person will litter. Which of these factors is most likely to contribute to the probability that a person will litter. State how you came to this conclusion.
To fight litter in your community, design a six- step actionable litter plan that you can give to a project team to implement. In your plan, include the management principles that go into making this plan. Justify to the implementation team why your plan will be successful. (Your total response for all parts of this question should be at least 300 words.)
2) A municipal government has agreed to provide once- per- week waste collection services to a new residential community of 10,000 people. The city council has hired you to make a preliminary assessment to determine if they it should build and operate a transfer station to support the collection. For the initial analysis, assume that the community does not have a recycling program. Here is some of the initial data that the municipal engineer has collected. The round- trip distance from the residential community to the landfill is 58 miles.
· The round- trip distance from the proposed site of the transfer station will be 63 miles.
· Size The size of the residential garbage truck that collects waste from the community is 28 cubic yards.
· The garbage truck is capable to of compacting the refuse to 650 pounds per cubic yard.
· A long- haul truck is capable to of transporting 23 tons of compacted waste per trip.
· The transfer station has a fixed operating cost of $10/ton.
· The cost to operate the garbage truck is $1.30/mile.
· The cost to operate the long- haul truck is $0.56/mile.

2. Overview
• Study examined the effects of pay as you throw
schemes on municipal recycling rates
• Combination of panel and survey data, focused is placed
on analyzing:
• Effect of PAYT on municipal recycling rates
• Effect of mandatory recycling legislation on the
effectiveness of PAYT
• Does the presence of PAYT modify household
recycling behavior?
3. Methods
• Panel data taken from 223 municipalities over the past decade
(Waste Diversion Ontario Data Call)
• Survey data collected from seven provincial municipalities in
different geographic regions
• Regression model developed to determine the effect of PAYT
systems on municipal recycling rates
• Variables in Regression Include:
• RECRATE = Municipal Recycling Rates
• PAYT = 1 if municipality implements pay as you throw scheme (0 otherwise)
• PROMO = Municipal promotion and education expenditures (per household) ($)
• CURB = Percentage of households with access to curbside recycling collection
• INC = Median household income Per Capita ($)
• AGE = Median Age
• EDUC = % of Population with College education or higher
• DEN = Population Density per square kilometer
4. Results
• Municipalities with PAYT have higher recycling rates than those
without
• Effectiveness of PAYT predicated on consistent enforcement
• Effectiveness of PAYT a function of the size of recycling bin
• Presence of PAYT encourages illegal dumping, particularly in rural
communities
5. Conclusions
• Municipalities need to provide households with larger
recycling bins
• There is an administrative cost associated with
managing a PAYT system – increased diversion must be
weighted against increased cost
6. Conclusions
• Municipalities need to provide households with larger
recycling bins
• There is an administrative cost associated with
managing a PAYT system – increased diversion must be
weighted against increased cost
