May 18, 2011 the Econservation Institute will be presenting a Pay-As-You-Throw (PAYT) Training at the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony. PAYT can be one of your most effective, cost-effective & flexible methods of increasing recycling and reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG). PAYT is not just practical in the landfill-costly East coast or in the "green" West Coast, but in all kinds of areas, even the desert/mountain west. There are PAYT lessons for urban, suburban, rural, and remote areas with all types of collection systems. Experts will discuss PAYT, how it works, impacts, key methods to implement PAYT, and strategies to address political, hauler, and other barriers. Learn about can, bag, sticker, and other options, the pros and cons of PAYT, and the power of the PAYT incentive.

Date: Wednesday, May 18, 2011
