Book Description
"Several counties in Minnesota are currently struggling to meet recycling goals. Recycling is important because it preserves the life of landfills and prevents recyclable materials from being incinerated. The purpose of this study was to determine what variables positively and negatively impact residential recycling rates in Minnesota. This study examined variables from all 87 counties in Minnesota during 1996-2011. It relied heavily on the use of surveys and informal interviews with county environmental officials to gain information. Nine out of 21 variables contributed significantly to the model explaining annual residential recycling rates. These variables included population density, number of drop-off sites, annual tons of municipal solid waste (MSW) sent to landfills and processing facilities, percentage of MSW required to be sent to resource recovery centers, annual amount spend on educating the public, percentage of county population served by volume-based pricing, percentage of county population with organized pick-up for MSW, percentage of county population with open-market pick-up for recycling, and percentage of county population with open-market pick-up for MSW. The results of this study suggest areas in which counties can improve in order to increase residential recycling rates. However, the results of this study should be read with the understanding that waste management and recycling in Minnesota is very complex, so the model could not capture all variables that might impact residential recycling rates"--Abstract.

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.
