Abstract An assessment was made of a time and wage incentive program for solid waste collection and supervisory personnel in the test city, Covington, Kentucky. On an annualized basis, cost savings amounting to $113,000 (19 percent of budget) resulted from implementation of the new program. The major areas of research included an assessment of union/management/worker behavioral attitudes, construction of a solid waste generation/collection computerized data bank, development of work standards utilizing work measurement techniques, application of time standards to area route development, and design of a prototype wage incentive program based on area routes with known work content. Political considerations and the inherent characteristics of municipal government organization were identified as major constraints to effective management of solid waste collection operations and cost reductions.
