Financial Stability
PAYT is an effective tool for communities struggling to cope with soaring municipal solid waste management expenses. Well-designed programs generate the revenues communities need to cover their solid waste costs, including the costs of such complementary programs as recycling and composting. Residents benefit, too, because they have the opportunity to take control of their trash bills.

Education
Education payments to the City from contractors are key especially with the current budget constraints– The collection contract requires an annual
payment of $3.56 for every household collected– The recycle processing contractor pays the City
of Fort Worth $1.18 per ton of acceptable material
