Why PAYT - Increased Importance “By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.” – Ben Franklin • Looking 10, 20, 30 years down the road • Landfilling of waste will be more expensive with time • Plan for the future – send less to landfills • Small changes, Big impacts

Why PAYT - Increased Importance • Reduce Landfill Waste • Adopted Sustainability Plan – Goals: • Increase opportunities for waste diversion, education, and reuse – Objectives: • Decrease residential trash- less than 2 lbs per capita per day • Increase community-wide waste diversion- 50% by 2025 • Increase waste diversion for City Operations • Equity in Rates • Higher use, higher rate- similar to water and electric rates

Process to PAYT It started with the desire to landfill less • Council direction to implement PAYT and curbside compost • Resident feedback and Surveys • Consultant review and rate strategy • Implemented PAYT and curbside compost April 2017

Pay-as-You-Throw (PAYT) Approach • Previous Approach – 48 gal. or 96 gal. Only 50% more cost for double disposal capacity – 79% of customers subscribed to 96 gal. trash • PAYT Approach – 48 gal. EOW, 48 gal., or 96 gal. 80% - 100% more cost for double disposal capacity – Expect 96 gal. trash cart customers to drop to 50% 8

Rolling Out PAYT Marketing- Customer Outreach and Education • Mailers • Various city tools • Proactive education on managing your bill through greater waste diversion Cart purchasing and distribution • Expect a lot of cart changes • Saved costs on reusing carts • only replaced lids for new services

PAYT Cart Sizes

Results on Customer Subscriptions Trash Before PAYT May 2018 Collection 96 gal 79% 65% 48 gal 21% 28% 48 gal EOW* N/A 7% Compost N/A 14% 96 gal *collected every other week

Learning Points • Concurrent launch of PAYT and composting provided best solution to reducing landfill waste • Complaints about rates were minimal • Required strong marketing effort and marketing budget • 14% residents reduced their trash service level with PAYT • Anticipated high labor need for cart exchanges at program launch • Price increase for trash was a small motivator for reducing trash cart size • PAYT change-outs going slower than anticipated
