Pay per launch is an interesting concept and is widely implemented in Japan and other countries around the world. The benefits of a system like this would be that recycling would be free and waste would be charged, thus incentivizing recycling which reduces the amount of waste found in landfill. It could also increase jobs in America as there will be a greater need for employees at recycling and waste collection centers. Some disadvantages are that the price of garbage bags would increase and could make illegal dumping and burning very attractive to citizens. A pay-as-you-go system could be implemented in Platteville. The basic idea of ​​a "pay as you go" system is that special garbage bags are taxed and that tax would then go to finance the economy. adopters and early majority. The next group of people to embrace the innovation would be the late majority, and would likely be young families or families with teenage children. The reason would be that most families would be angry about the increased costs, but children would appreciate the attention to the environment. The middle-aged and older population would likely be conscientious rejecters. Older people are usually set in their ways and don't react well to changes. Each group of people should follow the steps of adopting the innovation: knowledge, persuasion, decision, implementation and show statistics on environmental pollution caused by solid waste and show the cost of treating such waste, then compare that cost with the average cost annual garbage tags from a pay-as-you-go system. Even just education on what a pay-as-you-go system is would be a necessity. I would target high school students and offer volunteer opportunities to spread education. I would view the pay system as a cost issue rather than an environmental one since there are more Republicans than Democrats in Grant County. We hope that the idea will be welcomed with open arms and be successful. I believe it would be because there is a relative advantage, it is compatible with the current system, it is simple, accessible and easily communicated to the masses. I would much rather see the idea go through the heads of the general population before going into the common council. People like to be able to contribute to the policy-making process so they don't feel abandoned
