Will Trash Cans That Charge Per Use Just Encourage Littering?S
Alongside the new garbage cans will be recycling bins that don't
charge a cent, and the program is designed to encourage users to
buy and use products that can be recycled, instead of just
tossed, and hopefully reduce the number of thefts of city-issued
cans. But given the choice of properly disposing of their
trash—and being charged for their courtesy—or just tossing it on
the ground and avoiding all the fees, there's a good chance most
residents are going to choose the latter, cheaper, and easier
route. [The Register via Ubergizmo]
