This report analyzes the possible implementation of a pay-as-you-throw fee system for municipal solid waste collection in the City of Milwaukee. The authors assess three options: the status quo, a multiple-cart system with pricing based on household-waste cart size, and a weight-based program that charges by the pound for refuse collection. They recommend the weight-based system.
