<li>We recommend calculating pre- and post-PAYT recycling tonnage in municipalities that have implemented PAYT.</li>

<li>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).</li>
5858
<li>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.</li>
