HB55

====**Purpose:** The purpose of our bill is to enforce recycling, composting, and other environmentally friendly waste disposal. For each house-hold, there will be only one trash can. This will force resident to recycle or start a compost, so they do not fill their trash can with bottles and other recyclables. This will reduce the amount of trash in land-fills. 1.Residents will be provided with one standard 48 gallon trash can to use. Each resident has 60 credits; 52 of which they will use for each week of the year, 8 extra for the use of other cans they use within a year. For example, if a resident has a party they will use the extra credits for the extra cans. If they run out of credits, they must pay for the extra cans they used that week. This process will encourage recycling in each house-hold. Therefore, it will benefit the environment.====

====**Eligibility**: Residential Americans will have to order a 48 gallon garbage can through their local garbage company. They are effected because the will have to order the can. Garbage Companies are effected because they are receiving business when people order the garbage cans through them.====

**Terms and Benefits:**

 * 1) ====All Americans that own a home and have trash each week will be affected by this bill. Also, garbage companies will be affected because they are getting more business.====
 * 2) ====Each resident will purchase their own trash can by themselves or through a garbage company.====
 * 3) ====This will benefit the environment because more people will be recycling and composting.====
 * 4) ====Garbage men and cities will enforce this. Garbage men will take the one can, scan it, and that will remove one credit. Cities will make sure each household gets the garbage cans.====
 * 5) ====Our bill will be in effect for and infinite amount of time.====
 * 6) ====Residents can buy more credits once they run out of them. Credits reset after each year.====
 * 7) ====Apartment complexes will do the same. Each resident will get 48 gallons of trash each week. Then put in a dumpster or wherever they dispose of their garbage.====

====**Fiscal Impact:**Our bill will cost 1,600,000 dollars. This cost will be for advertising for television and the internet. Since people buy their own trash cans there is no reason for products and labor(distributors). Also, there will be no need for legal systems. If people do not buy their 48 gallon trash can, they will simply not get their garbage taken. There will be no fine for this. Our bill is not costly and it will make a big impact on the environment.==== We are getting our funds through taxes. It will take about a year and a half at most to receive the funds.
