“…These findings support other studies reporting a higher level of participation in recycling among those with middle-to upper level income [34,35]. In contrast, a study of income elasticity by Hage and Söderholm [33] suggested that households with higher income are not necessarily more willing to recycle more than low income households. They argue that the opportunity cost for the households must also be considered.…”

“…The studies which have included this variable unambiguously show a significant correlation between recycling behaviour and dwelling type, as represented in Fig. 5 [4,9,21,22,26,33,36]. Most of the findings on this issue make it possible to state that private housing (single-family dwelling) positively influences recycling behaviour.…”

PostprintThis is the accepted version of a paper published in Waste and Biomass Valorization. This paper has been peer-reviewed but does not include the final publisher proof-corrections or journal pagination. Abstract A meta-analysis was made of results from previous studies on different variables influencing and determining the recycling behaviour of householders. These studies were conducted by researchers working in various fields in a number of different countries and are published in diverse journals. We evaluated trends in research outputs in the period 1990-2010, during which the provision of recycling facilities to householders has greatly expanded and requirements have become more extensive and often more complex. Variables affecting the recycling behaviour of householders were classified into four theoretical groups: socio-psychological, technical-organisational, individual socio-demographic and study-specific. These groups (clusters) were identified in a meta-analysis of 63 empirical studies culled from published research. The strongest predictors of householders' recycling behaviour were identified as being convenience, moral norms, information and environmental concern. The theoretical framework developed can be used to formulate questionnaires and in data analysis.
