Create Savings and Generate Revenue by
Reducing Waste
Implementing a Trash Metering program from WasteZero provides
both revenue and savings opportunities for municipalities. Consider
the savings opportunities first. The bottom line is: When
trash is reduced, all of the related costs to manage that trash are
also reduced. Specifically, savings can be achieved through:
- Reduced tipping fees
- Decreased out-of-region shipping fees
- Fewer trash trucks and/or drivers needed for curbside
pickup
- Fewer resources needed at the transfer station
In addition, the revenue achieved through the sale of
municipality-branded trash bags to residents provides a much-needed
financial injection to cities and towns. Municipalities can choose
to share these revenues with residents - with what is called our More In Return™
program, or put the money back into vital services for the
community.
“Before PAYT, trash tonnage in [one MA city] averaged 21,000 tons annually. Since the program started, the tonnage has been cut in half, to about 10,000 tons. The city is saving more than $800,000 annually in disposal fees.” American City & County
“Maybe it’s the wallet talking or maybe the switch raised everyone’s awareness, but the move by [one MA town] to Pay-As-You-Throw trash program has had a remarkable effect on the town’s budget and the environment.” Wicked Local
