Garbage Tags
Starting in early 1990s, many municipal and regional governments introduced a collection fee per bag or other approved container of garbage. In general, a fixed number of bags or other containers are collected free of charge with any excess required to be affixed with a tag in payment of the prescribed collection fee. These Garbage Tags usually take the form of a self-adhesive strip or decal and must be purchased in advance from a government office or other authorized vendor.
The application of the collection fee varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Some localities require a tag on all garbage. Others localities have special tags for higher fees charged on large items and other special disposals such as vehicle tires and devices containing ozone-depleting refrigerants. Recyclable materials that are properly separated and sorted are typically exempt from a collection fee.
