Our town was considering the same thing, and it was driven by recycling revenue. The idea was that seperated recyclables were free, and "regular" trash was pay as you go in a colored bag. The hope was that people would recycle everything in order to drive down the cost of their trash removal, and the town would profit from the money made on recycling. It was shot down, but pops up every few years.
