The town of Greenfield recently instituted a substantial supplementary tax on all
households, whereby each household is taxed in proportion to the volume of the
trash that it puts out for trash collectors to pick up, as measured by the number of
standard-sized garbage bags put out. In order to reduce the volume of the trash on
which their tax bill is based, Greenfield households can deliver their recyclable
trash to a conveniently located local commercial recycling center, where such
trash is accepted free of charge.
The supplementary tax provides some financial incentive to Greenfield
households to do each of the following EXCEPT
(A) sort out recyclable trash thoroughly from their other trash
(B) dump nonrecyclable trash illegally at parks and roadsides
(C) compress and nest items of nonrecyclable trash before putting them out for
pickup
(D) deliver recyclable materials to the recycling center instead of passing them on to neighbors who want to reuse them
(E) buy products without packaging or with recyclable rather than nonrecyclable
packaging
