How does ‘Pay-As-You-Throw’ (PAYT) work?

Under PAYT, the hauling and disposal costs, and the variable cost, are covered by the revenue generated by sales of the special Town of Wayland trash bags.  The fixed operating costs, payroll, and other operating expenses are covered by the Transfer Station ticker fee.  The more we recycle, the less we have to spend on the hauling and disposal.  Users of the Transfer Station are required to dispose of their regular household trash in special Town of Wayland trash bags.  There are three bag sizes available, and there is no sales tax on the bags.
