<p>We used the city of Malden as a case study to estimate the potential revenue Boston could generate if they implemented a similar PAYT program. Malden residents have two options to dispose of their trash: 1) Buy <strong>blue PAYT trash bags </strong>that can be placed in any barrel, or 2) Buy an <strong>annual "trash tag"</strong> to stick to a 35-gallon city-issued trash cart and continue using standard trash bags.<a href="https://www.cityofmalden.org/804/Trash-TagsSticker-Info-Purchase"><sup>1</sup></a></p>
