A creative poster is fine.
A pay-as-you-throw (PAYT) program is a more equitable way to pay for collection and disposal of municipal solid waste.
Under a PAYT program, each house is charged for the waste they generate, rather than paying a flat fee. If a household throws away less trash, they pay less. Currently, there are over 7,000 communities that have implemented PAYT programs. Learn more about PAYT programs from the EPA website and, assuming that your city does not currently employ a PAYT program, develop a pamphlet, brochure, infographic, or poster of a PAYT program for your city that you could distribute to the community. You do not have to use your current city. You can select any city of your choice without a PAYT program.
In this pamphlet, brochure, infographic, or poster:
1. Outline the following important criteria for your PAYT program:
Container options (e.g., bags, stickers, containers)
Enforcement options
Pricing system
Ways to incorporate apartment/multifamily housing
Ways to incentivize recycling
Ways to consider/manage special populations (e.g., elderly, lower socioeconomic class)
Outreach/education program
