Originating Calendar: ACE Seminars; Abstract
Household garbage causes environmental damage, and landfills run out of space, but recycling technology is improving for more materials to be sold by municipalities to help defray costs of waste disposal. Yet households do not directly benefit from recycling, so they often do not recycle. We test whether reasonable municipal policy options such as recycling information and subsidy payments can provide cost-effective ways to reduce household garbage and to increase recycling.
