Distance is a barrier to recycling – or is it? Surprises from a clean test
2020, Waste ManagementCitation Excerpt :The days occurred in August, which was a convenience choice that we note here only for reference.) These indicators are standard ones used in other waste studies (Dahlén, 2005; DETR, 1999; Wang et al., 1997), in this case applied to each group of households on the same floor (F) of the same building a set distance (D) from the bins. ( Although our data is available daily, we have analysed it by month to be consistent with those standard indicators.

2017, Waste ManagementCitation Excerpt :More case studies of waste collection systems are needed to generate a greater knowledge base of such systems and to understand how they should be adapted in order to be successfully implemented. Source-separated waste collection systems for extracting recyclables from urban waste have been analyzed according to their performance in terms of costs (Rogge and De Jaeger, 2013; Teerioja et al., 2012), environmental impacts (Maimoun et al., 2013; Powell, 1996; Teixeira et al., 2014; Yildiz-Geyhan et al., 2016), recycling/collection rates (Wilson and Williams, 2007), and public participation and behavior (Bolaane, 2006; Martin et al., 2006; Shaw et al., 2006; Oskamp et al., 1996; Wang et al., 1997). Focusing on performance and operations, Huang et al. (2011) developed key performance indicators to assess the efficiency of municipal solid waste collection.

2016, Waste ManagementCitation Excerpt :Nixon and Saphores (2007) suggested that a high participation level could be achieved through improving recycling convenience, establishing “recycling goals,” assigning neighborhood leaders to encourage participation, and improving public education. The importance of the availability of curbside collection and convenience was further confirmed by researchers (Wang et al., 1997; Gonzalez-Torre et al., 2003; Chen and Tung, 2010; Largo-Wight et al., 2013; Rousta and Ekstrom, 2013; Wagner et al., 2013). The effects of education on bridging the gap between “having the right attitude and actualizing that in behavior” was highlighted by Neo (2010) and Massawe et al. (2014).
