Pay-As-You-Throw in Boston

How might implementing a Pay-As-You-Throw (PAYT) program impact the City of Boston?

-

To estimate the impact of a PAYT program on Boston's trash tonnage and revenue, we 1 calculated how much trash Boston households produced in 2024 and how much the city spent to incinerate it. 2 We projected the impact of a PAYT program on trash reduction and how much the city could save in incineration costs from the reduction alone based off of 3 reductions seen in other municipalities. We 4 estimated how much Boston could generate in revenue from PAYT-bag sales based on the city of Malden.

Next Steps

  • We recommend calculating pre- and post-PAYT recycling tonnage in municipalities that have implemented PAYT.
  • With the understanding that municipality data is limited, we recommend analyzing the changes in solid waste and recycling tonnage pre- and post-PAYT as it differs by program type (bag, tag, cart, hybrid).
  • One limitation of our analysis is the lack of data on total solid waste tonnage disposed in each municipality. We only have access to the tonnage of solid waste disposed by each household that participates in a municipality's trash program (this does not include many large buildings or public trash receptacles). Ideally, we would be able to calculate the change in annual solid waste tonnage per capita before and after PAYT. As of now, we cannot conclude that PAYT reduces total garbage disposed.

  • We recommend investigating how PAYT impacts different socioeconomic groups in a particular municipality.
  • We recommend investigating how PAYT impacts different socioeconomic groups in a given municipality.
  • We recommend looking into tiered PAYT programs, such as those that provide subsidized receptacles for certain populations.
