(1) Programs to encourage recycling. The commission encourages solid waste collection companies to develop programs intended to increase recycling. The commission will, among other things, consider whether a proposed program:
- (a) Provides an incentive to the party who controls the actions or behaviors that the program intends to change;
- (b) Defines measurable outcomes reasonably attributable to the proposed program; and
- (c) May have any unintended results or consequences.
- (2) Recycling credits or charges. Companies that estimate the revenue from the sale of recyclable materials collected in residential curbside programs as part of a deferred accounting program to return recycling revenues or charges to customers must use the most recent twelve-month historical period to estimate the revenue for the next twelve months.
