PAYT-based Municipal Waste Collection Service Design (Italy)

Pilot project aimed at introducing a Pay-As-You-Throw (PAYT) tariff system at city level on non-recyclable refuses dumped by household and commercial users, according to Art. 14 of European Directive 2008/98/CE and Act 147 of 2013.

Project main task is introducing large scale weight assessment and record keeping of general waste conferred by users and fees by making use of IT identifying and tracking systems (RFID, QR-optical) to be placed on containers and onboard collection vehicles.
The underlying concept is to charge users only on the basis of non-recyclable quantity of waste dumped, thus encouraging proper waste segregation at source and sorting of recyclable fractions as well as minimizing waste collection fees.

Project funded with the aid of Metropolitan City of Rome.
