The more you waste, the more you pay. And if you waste only small amounts (relying on careful purchasing and committed recycling), you are rewarded with the cheapest rate of all - what they call the tag-it-all option. That's the option my family chose. We pay the $10.15 basic rate that every Moscow household pays, but we do not pay for the trash cans used weekly. Instead we pay $1.70 to buy green tags to place on our trash can when we do place it on the curb. Since we place our trash can out every 3 to 5 weeks, we save about $4 monthly over the single-trash-can rate.</span></div>
