Implementation - Feasibility 5,579 (74%) of University City properties receive municipal trash service $118 million (assessed value) $9.75 million total taxes paid (.0825 millage) They pay $4.1 million in property taxes (42% city share) $102 Philadelphia Sanitation budget $1.32 million (1.3% UC Share) They pay $1.32 million of this to the sanitation department Trash is 13.5% of UC tax burden, or $236 per “average” household
Implementation - Feasibility 10,000 tons of waste are generated by University City every year. The average UC household generates 1.8 tons of trash This equals between 2 and 3 32-gallon can every week: Each can is billed at $9.20 / week Equal $110 / year Equals between $220 - $330 in user fees for an “average” property This will decrease as recycling rates increase. Most households will break even in the second year of PAYT, and save money thereafter.
