The Mayor of Recycleville has asked you to develop an integrated waste management program. Residents currently pay $10 per month and can put out up to five 32-gallon cans per week. You offer the Mayor an automated system with two price options

In addition you will provide the residents a 64-gallon commingled recycling container and a 96-gallon green waste container.

a. What are the advantages of using the program developed by you?

b. Are residents opting for the 96-gallon container paying more for this service?

c. Which price option would likely have the higher recycling rate, and why? Look at the EPA web site for some case studies to support your reasoning.
