Book Description
Excerpt from Economic Analysis of Solid Waste Systems for Rural Cities in the Southeast The design and management of solid waste systems in large cities and metropolitan areas have received considerable attention and study. Less attention has been given to the waste management problems of smaller communities (less than l0,000). Solid waste management in smaller communi ties is often more difficult because of small staffs and lower budgets for public services. While most larger cities have full-time staff, small cities generally do not have full-time waste management departments and thus have more difficulty in planning and developing efficient systems. The Solid Waste Disposal Act of 1965 applies to small cities as well as large areas. Many State and local governments have enacted legislation imposing environmental regulations on the collection and disposal of solid waste. State and local officials and planners are faced with the task of developing solid waste management systems that meet environmental require ments in an economical manner.

Book Description
The market of municipal solid waste (MSW) collection and disposal has changed substantially over the past thirty years. This study will help guide both newcomers and past contributors through the fundamental aspects of policies designed to reduce the external costs of MSW collection, and the important empirical relationships that, in the end, govern the selection of MSW policies. The International Library of Environmental Economics and Policy explores the influence of economics on the development of environmental and natural resource policy. In a series of twenty-five volumes, the most significant journal essays in key areas of contemporary environmental and resource policy are collected. Scholars who are recognized for their expertise and contribution to the literature in the various research areas serve as volume editors and write essays that provides the context for the collection. Volumes in the series reflect three broad strands of economic research including 1) Natural and Environmental Resources, 2) Policy Instruments and Institutions and 3) Methodology. The editors, in their introduction to each volume, provide a state-of-the-art overview of the topic and explain the influence and relevance of the collected papers on the development of policy. This reference series provides access to the economic literature that has shaped contemporary perspectives on land use analysis and policy.
