@drahardja The #USPHS looked at whether a #ProductDisposalFee on all retail products could pay for environmentally sound collection and disposal of garbage while also incentivizing #WasteReduction and #Recycling. In the 50s & 60s, residential collection and open or burn dumps cost about $2/mo/household for about 1 ton/year of garbage. Upgrading to enclosed collection vehicles and fully-lined #SanitaryLandfills might have cost no more than $1-$2/mo. That would have been $10-$25/ton. 2/4
