About 50% of Worcester trash is funded by taxes and 50% funded by trash bag sales.
The pay-per-bag system also encourages illegal dumping, and the city absolutely has a littering problem.

Yes, it does, but it would still mean raising taxes, and that tends to get voted down.
If you want to change it, circulate a petition and try to get it changed.
