My issue with all of these programs is how much can I pay not to do it?
Assess the full externalities of all of the costs (methane emissions, capital land fill costs, etc) then give me a price not to do it so I can gladly pay it. For the Blue Bins it would be cheaper not to do it. The green bins might make sense but again how much do I have to pay not to do it should be an option.
If everytime we add a bin our costs go up, something is wrong, either we weren't paying enough for garbage disposal in which case our fees should have been higher previously or this is a bad idea.
