There were concerns about a single <br />government undertaking this policy in a single sector only. <br />• There is concern about waste crossing jurisdiction boundaries or sectoral boundaries <br />(i.e. into commercial dumpsters) or otherwise being dumped illegally so people can <br />avoid paying the fees. <br />• Issues of equity were raised over the PAYT concept and also whether using this <br />method of raising funds constituted "double taxation" if the Town continued to <br />
