flag Schenectady’s trash sticker program cut waste 9% and earned $17K, but fairness concerns grow over unlimited free pickups for heavy users.

flag Schenectady’s new trash sticker program has cut waste by 9% and brought in over $17,000 in six months, but concerns grow over fairness, as residents can dispose of large amounts of trash—up to 40 or 50 bags weekly—without extra fees, shifting costs to those who produce less waste. flag Officials are urged to set limits on free pickups and introduce tiered fees based on usage, with public input needed to create a fair and sustainable system that ensures cost equity.
