Pay as You Throw

Length: 6 minutes

Are you paying for your neighbors waste collection? Join us in Douglass Township, PA, to find out more about the "Pay As You Throw" program. Residents here only pay for what they throw away. If they throw out less, they pay less, giving them an added incentive to recycle more and generate less waste.

This video will take us through the process of "Pay As You Throw", showing us how it works, and giving us a glimpse of a community using it.

Produced (2001) by the Environmental Fund for Pennsylvania and GreenWorks.
