  With apartments, the company bills just one manager, who spreads the cost out among tenants, Waste Management general manager Kirk Duncan said.
  
  The reduced rate for additional housing units is based on the idea that apartment tenants don't generate as much waste as people in a single-family home because they don't have grass and leaves to dispose of in summer, he said.
  
  Extra bags picked up on a normal service day were previously charged at 50 cents per bag in Anchorage and Girdwood and $1 per bag in Eagle River.This charge would rise to $1.50 per extra bag.
  
  Duncan said the 50-cent rate doesn't adequately cover the disposal cost most of the time.In summer, when there's more yard debris, a bag full of grass clippings can weigh 50 pounds and the disposal costs more than $1, Duncan said.
  ...
  The $1.50 per extra bag moves in that direction, Duncan and Hall said.

  Waste Management of Alaska hauls more than 220,000 tons of garbage statewide annually and manages another 30,000 tons at a Juneau landfill, according to Duncan.It's a subsidiary of Houston-based Waste Management Inc., a nationwide garbage collector.
  
  Waste Management's Fairbanks operations are not part of the deal announced Monday.The company is planning to sell the Fairbanks portion of the business and is negotiating the terms of a sale now, Duncan said.He declined to name the potential buyer.
  
  The company has no plans to sell its Juneau landfill business, Duncan said.
  ...
  Duncan said the decision to sell was difficult.But Waste Management is a publicly traded company with millions of shareholders to whom it owes a fiduciary responsibility.
  
  "The corporation continually analyzes what markets we're in, what lines of business we're in and what's the long-term potential for growth in profits," Duncan said."Wall Street has very high expectations of Waste Management."
  
  Alaska Pacific approached Waste Management with an offer, Duncan said.The decision to sell was made at the corporate level, not here in Anchorage, he said.

  "There's always garbage," Duncan said.

  "Recyclers are fierce" and would do anything to keep the program going, said Kirk W. Duncan, general manager of Waste Management of Alaska, which runs the program that picks up recyclable paper, cardboard and newsprint twice a month from curbs in Bayshore, Turnagain, Spenard and other neighborhoods.
  
  But there weren't enough of them, Duncan said.The company has only a few more than its original 1,000 volunteer customers paying $5 a month, and it needed at least three times that many, he said.
  ...
  Duncan said Waste Management mailed notices of the availability of the service along with invoices to its customers in the target neighborhoods, "but they don't get read."
  
  The company, he said, posted fliers at the Smurfit-Stone Recycling Co. facility near Dowling Road, where residents place their recyclables in special bins.
  
  But the bottom line, Duncan said, is that the company could not build up the business.
  
  "We could have spent a lot more money on advertising, but the amount of customers we need -- we'd need 3,000 to 5,000 to keep it going," he said.
  ...
  Duncan said the proposed purchase "is a component" reason for the recycling suspension."But it's more than that.We looked at our year-end numbers, and it's that recycling hasn't contributed to the bottom line of Waste Management."
  
  The Regulatory Commission could drag out the public process beyond April, Duncan added.
