Our City is comprised of roughly 16,000 people, currently citizens must purchase "tags" from the Rubbish hauler, they run $14 for 10 or $28 for 20, the City constantly complains about the low take rate on the tags and the fact that only 60% of all households put garbage at the curb, couple that with a rat problem and an ever increasing blight problem, so the City is looking for a way to improve this service. I suggest a millage, I am not in favor of more taxes, but when I did the math it costs about the same either way, but with a millage I can put out more rubbish for the same price (excluding large appliances, etc.).
If your city operates via this type of system, I'd love to hear about your community (size, # of mills, success/failure of the program). Thanks in advance.
