WasteZero is the leader in delivering programs to help municipalities reduce waste going into landfills, improve recycling rates, and generate revenue.  Currently, we are partnering with more than 250 cities and towns in the US to help them extend the lives of their landfills, reduce landfill tipping fees and/or incinerator fees, increase recycling and other revenues, and protect the environment.

Over the years, we have seen a large number of cities implement Pay As You Throw (PAYT) programs to meet their waste management and financial goals.  We’ve seen what works…and we’ve seen what doesn’t. 

As a result, we have developed a proprietary PAYT model that incorporates all of the critical success factors that make such programs work, while eliminating those factors that limit their effectiveness.  Our WasteZero Pay As You Throw programs take the traditional PAYT concept to an entirely new level, providing at least twice the environmental and financial benefits of ordinary programs:

  • Typical PAYT programs reduce solid waste by 17-23%
  • WasteZero PAYT programs reduce solid waste by an average of 43%

In addition, we provide a comprehensive range of services to help our municipal partners launch these programs quickly and run them successfully.  Our range of services includes:

  • Manufacturing
  • Distribution
  • Accounting and Funds Management
  • Communications and Consulting
