Another fee will not solve the problem.
1) Dump tip fees are not artificially low where I am.
2) The cities and county together conspired to pass business licensing requirement that anyone in business collecting trash is not allowed to dump it outside the county.
3) The State where I live has a tire reclamation fee at time of purchase to prevent tires from being disposed whole in landfills.
This year I learned with my own eyes how that fee is spent. The landfill buys a shredder ($300,000+) a conveyor ($50,000+) to stack a big pile and a wheel loader ($200,000+) to sprinkle the shreds into the incoming trash stream.
Non-productive and energy intensive green wash with the material ending up in the same place. But it is no longer "whole".
