Problem

The city of Seattle limits each household to one can of free garbage collection per week. There are fees for any extra garbage collected from the curb. Suppose that a neighborhood group in Seattle organizes a group of families so that those who plan to go over their one-can garbage quota can find households that are under their quota and pay them to put out the extra trash. Does this change the efficiency of the policy?
