People in general don't want to pay more, but you can guide people to certain behaviors if they benefit from the behaviors. In South Korea, people have to pay for bags for general trash, and for food waste. Recycling requires no extra fees. This incentivizes people to reduce general trash by increasing recycling sorting, and to reduce food waste.
