Pay as You Throw Trash Collection in Maine

Pay as you throw trash collection seems to make perfect sense. You're getting people to pay their fair share of waste disposal while at the same time, giving them an incentive to increase their cycling and cut down on trash. Who could argue with that? There's only one problem. Some people see it as a new tax. These days especially, and especially in towns like Sanford, Maine, people aren't in the mood for more taxes.
