Compensation procedures in Europe. The use of tax instruments in the area of waste management is an increasingly popular option to create incentives that help to achieve better prevention and selective waste collection results, ensure appropriate allocation of waste management charges, and guarantee that tax collection is effective. At local level, the main economic instrument that is available are waste charges. Traditionally, waste charges were conceived without incentives in mind. However, nowadays in some countries, pay-as-you-throw (PAYT) systems are commonly used. Such systems enable the real production of waste in each home or business to be calculated, and the tax is determined by the amount and type of waste that is thrown away. Thus, pay-as-you-throw systems promote waste prevention and recycling and enable the 'polluter pays' principle to be applied. A pay-as-you-throw system is based on the application of a mechanism by which the user of the waste collection service pays a waste charge according to their real waste generation and the waste management service that is used. Such schemes incorporate the 'polluter pays' principle into the waste charge. Consequently, residents or businesses who make an effort to reduce their waste and separate it correctly are rewarded. Therefore, pay-as-you-throw systems encourage the participation of residents and businesses to meet waste policy objectives, through the creation of an economic incentive that consists in establishing a link between waste charge payment and the amount and type of waste that is generated. The first pay-as-you-throw schemes have been in operation in the USA since the start of the twentieth century45. Such schemes became more widespread from the 1970s onwards, particularly in California, Michigan, New York and Washington. Currently, over 7,000 US towns have deployed PAYT schemes, which is almost a quarter of the total number of municipalities and population of the United States. PAYT are used in 30 of the 100 largest municipalities in the country46. The operation of these schemes is particularly notable in large cities such as Seattle (Washington), San Xxxx (California) and Vancouver (Canada). Subsequently, the scheme began to spread to almost all European countries. It is extremely widespread in Switzerland and the xxxxx-xxxxxxx xxxx xx Xxxxxxx00, as well as in the rest of Germany, the north of Italy, Denmark and the Netherlands.
