If residential garbage collection were financed by charging households a fee per unit of garbage collected, rather than through general property taxation or a flat fee, you would expect
◦ higher costs for the municipality providing the garbage-collection service.
◦ less concern about recycling and more concern about the high cost of garbage collection.
◦ more recycling as households seek to minimize their garbage-collection bill.
◦ the administration cost to always outweigh any other savings, thus rendering this idea inefficient.
◦ inadequate revenue to pay for the garbage collection.
