4. Implementation - Feasibility 10,000 tons of waste are generated by University City every year. The average UC household generates 1.8 tons of trash This equals between 2 and 3 32-gallon can every week: Each can is billed at $9.20 / week Equal $110 / year Equals between $220 - $330 in user fees for an “average” property This will decrease as recycling rates increase. Most households will break even in the second year of PAYT, and save money thereafter.
