“…Past researchers noted that the level of recycling activities may improve by increasing community members' knowledge of recycling, the availability of recycling facilities, and community recycling options as well as by making it very convenient and easy to recycle e-waste (Folz, 1991). It was also observed that the duration of the recycling program has a positive impact that may increase households' frequency of recycling.…”

“…There is extensive literature available on recycling, which discusses municipal and regional recycling practices that have been associated with improved recycling program performance, participation, and the economics of recycling (Folz, 1991;Timlett & William, 2008;Bohm et al, 2010). Past researchers noted that the level of recycling activities may improve by increasing community members' knowledge of recycling, the availability of recycling facilities, and community recycling options as well as by making it very convenient and easy to recycle e-waste (Folz, 1991).…”

This paper estimates the economic valuation, discusses preferences for electronic waste (e-waste) recycling, and identifies the most preferred attributes in e-waste recycling. Stratified random sampling from the households in Putrajaya, Malaysia was utilised to obtain the primary data. It provides the readers with an intrinsic satisfaction when choosing a modelling analysis on the valuation of non-market goods using conditional logit simple model. The findings indicate that the option attributes were highly significant and there was no inherent bias towards either the change or no-change option held by the respondents.

“…When the level of participation as well as the overall waste segregation individuals in a community make at the source was considered there has been determination of a positive correlation (Noehammer and Byer, 1997). Apart from this positive relationship has also been identified when the frequency of collection (Singh et al, 2011), Apart from this a link has been identification between consumer participation as well as economic incentives (Thanh et al, 2010Maldanado 2006Noehammer and Byer, 1997) provided and the time of collection of garbage (Folz, 1991). The degree of waste management has also been identified to have a direct link with the level of social pressure which is presented in the community (Barr et al, 2003).…”

Waste management is a complex process that requires a lot of information from various sources such as factors on waste generation and waste quantity forecasts. When operations related to promotion of waste management systems are considered it is observed that generation of waste and planning is found to be influenced by different factor of which are impacted by socio demographics. The main aim of this paper is to review previously tested models related to municipal solid waste generation and identify possible factors which will help in identifying the crucial design options within the framework of statistical modelling.

This study examines the nature of public participation in implementing household source reduction of municipal solid waste in order to inform the development of waste policy. The objectives are to determine the degree of public participation in household source reduction, the importance given to this waste strategy relative to other waste management approaches with an emphasis on recycling, but also including landfilling and incineration, the motivations behind its practice and the demographic and attitudinal correlates of its practitioners. The method used was a telephone survey of residents in a community in Connecticut, U.S.A. The results were analysed using descriptive and correlational statistics.The results indicate that the activity of source reduction, using a variety of measures, is being widely practiced. Over 50% of respondents participated in at least one source reduction activity. However, the intensity of participation was low, with many individuals participating only infrequently in the activity. Furthermore, the amount of material potentially reduced through source reduction in the home is small. There was an equal degree of public support for recycling efforts with a large percentage of respondents considering recycling to be more important than source reduction. Demographic variab!es in this community did not prove to be significantly correiated with source reduction attitudes and behaviour.One policy implication is that the home may not be the most effective place for source reduction. as contrasted with recycling, given the limited number of source reduction activities available in the home. A second policy implication is that mechanisms to facilitate source reduction need to be developed. Finally, policy makers need to concentrate educational efforts towards public recognition of both what constitutes source reduction and the importance of this activity.Q 1996 ISWA
