In 2015, with the help of Green Acton’s advocacy and town-wide support, the Acton Town Meeting approved, and the Board of Selectmen adopted, the Pay As You Throw (PAYT) Program, a new pricing scheme for trash disposal at the Transfer Station. PAYT reduces the sticker prices for the Transfer Station (TS) and ties the cost of trash disposal to the volume disposed, encouraging citizens to reuse and recycle.
