Has the Township considered charging for solid waste collection by weight?
Charging by weight for solid waste collection is similar in nature to the Township’s method of charging by volume. In volume-based systems such as the Township’s, residents pay more depending on how many and what size cans of garbage they set out each week. Weight-based systems require scales to measure how many pounds of waste residents set out each week. The weight-based system costs more to implement, requiring a new scale system and regular calibration. Weight-based systems have not been widely implemented.
