Technical Guidance: Pay As You Throw System Implementation 

Pay As You Throw (PAYT) systems can help municipalities reduce waste, improve recycling and organics collection, strengthen cost recovery, and cut methane emissions from the waste sector. The Pay As You Throw System Implementation Technical Guidance explores PAYT models and complementary instruments and examines how PAYT approaches could be adapted for Brazil, drawing on lessons from successful programs in Europe, Latin America, and Africa. It provides strategic and practical recommendations for Brazil to implement PAYT systems to support improvements in the country’s waste management systems and reduce waste sector methane emissions.
