Sack collection of recyclable municipal waste: Less distance, more separation?

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Municipal solid waste represents an increasing environmental issue in modern societies. In 2012, each individual in the European Union produced on average approximately 500 kg of municipal waste. One way of reducing this amount would be to separate the waste more. Theory identifies the availability of infrastructure for waste separation facilities as the most important factor affecting the willingness to separate. In this paper we compare the effects of two common systems of waste separation: drop-off collection represented by "separation nests" and curbside collection represented by the sack collection. We follow the idea suggested by the previous research that if reaching the separation site requires less effort, people are more likely to separate their waste. Our results prove this.
