I'm missing the connection here. In what way does the incremental cost of a stop justifies having/not having a bag limit?
There are two large components of waste management costs:
a) Landfill costs
b) Collection costs
(b) is the same for a 1 person house as it is for a 5 person house, essentially
(a) will be higher, but the tags/bag limit is meant to capture that incremental cost to some degree
(a) can be mitigated by adopting the same strategy as the GTA uses, which is to ship it to Michigan, who will willing take it for far cheaper than doing it ourselves
