Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harold Crooks chronicles the history of waste management, showing how an ideology of privatization set the stage for the local refuse collection business to become a global corporate enterprise. The author tracks the emergence of the multinational firms that dominate the business and examines how governments fail to cope with the waste disposal needs of growing populations. He discusses the emergence of a citizens' counter-movement, communities standing up to the troubling consequences of contemporary waste disposal--huge incinerators spewing toxic metals into the atmosphere, dumps that leak toxins into the groundwater, and hazardous waste sites that must be monitored indefinitely. Giants of Garbage is a clear-eyed analysis of one of the largest and most persistent environmental issues facing Canadians today.

Download or read book The Economics of Residential Solid Waste Management written by Thomas C. Kinnaman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world where waste incinerators are not an option and landfills are at over capacity, cities are hard pressed to find a solution to the problem of what to do with their solid waste. Handbook of Solid Waste Management, 2/e offers a solution. This handbook offers an integrated approach to the planning, design, and management of economical and environmentally responsible solid waste disposal system. Let twenty industry and government experts provide you with the tools to design a solid waste management system capable of disposing of waste in a cost-efficient and environmentally responsible manner. Focusing on the six primary functions of an integrated system--source reduction, toxicity reduction, recycling and reuse, composting, waste- to-energy combustion, and landfilling--they explore each technology and examine its problems, costs, and legal and social ramifications.

Download or read book Sustainable Solid Waste Collection and Management written by Ana Pires and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-09-20 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume focuses on the collection of waste and waste streams as an integral aspect of sustainable waste management. The authors take economic models and behavioral studies into account to go beyond just descriptions of waste collections technologies and collection route design. Models and tools for sustainable waste collection are described in detail, and the authors provide a comprehensive, integrated methodology to design waste collection systems that reduce environmental impacts, are economically viable, and achieve buy-in and participation from target populations. Part I of the book provides fundamentals and context on waste hierarchy, including waste prevention, reduction and reuse, waste collection itself, and steps such as preparation for recycling, recycling, treatment, and landfilling. Background in environmental, social, and economic concerns surrounding waste collection is also provided here. Part II addresses tools for design, operation, and maintenance of waste collection systems. Part III focuses on how the tools presented in Part II can be used to support sustainability assessments and decisions that consider the entire life cycle of waste and the role of waste collection programs in waste prevention, reduction, reuse, recycling, treatment, and disposal. Part IV addresses the challenges of developing sustainable waste management systems and addresses the role of waste collection in sustainable waste management in the future.

This book was released on 2007-10-31 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solid waste management issues are a highly emotive topic. Disposal costs need to be balanced against environmental impact, which often results in heated public debate. Disposal options such as incineration and landfill, whilst unpopular with both the public and environmental pressure groups, do not pose the same environmental and health risks as, for example, recycling plants. This book, written by international experts, discusses the various waste disposal options that are available (landfill, incineration, composting, recycling) and then reviews their impact on the environment, and particularly on human health. Comprehensive and highly topical, Environmental and Health Impact of Solid Waste Management Activities will make a strong contribution to scientific knowledge in the area, and will be of value to scientists and policy-makers in particular.

Download or read book Fragmentation Versus Consolidation written by Mark Davis and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Federalist systems of government are commonly characterized by multiple and overlapping governmental jurisdictions. 'New Urbanism' literature often argues that this arrangement is inefficient and favors a consolidated government model. By contrast 'Local Public Economy' literature favors the polycentric arrangements noting that multiple overlapping governmental jurisdictions instill competition, leading to more efficient programs. This paper explores the fragmentation versus consolidation debate from a public service industry perspective exploring the production of city-level solid waste (trash and recyclables) collection services in three cities. These solid waste collection services fall into one of three categories: a monocentric system- consolidated and no overlap (case study: Denver, CO), franchise zones - fragmentation but no overlap (case study: Indianapolis, IN), and a polycentric system - fragmentation and overlap (case study: Colorado Springs, CO). This paper explores if one form of these solid waste collection methods is more fiscally efficient (providing the most service at the lowest cost), environmentally efficient (providing the most service with the smallest environmental footprint), and/or equitable (fairness, impartiality, and equality in service production) than the other production models at the city level. The finding is that the cost-for-service falls within a similar range for the monocentric and the franchise zone models, but that the polycentric model ranges from 50% to 100% greater in cost than these other two production models making it the least fiscally efficient. Likewise the monocentric and franchise zone models are found to be more environmentally efficient than the polycentric model. In terms of equity there is no clear 'best method' with all models producing relatively equal levels of service both within-city and across cities. In addition to these findings, this paper makes two additional contributions to the 'New Urbanism' and the 'Local Public Economy' literatures: the addition of the franchise zone model and the addition of the environmental efficiency measure.
