Journal of Solid Waste  Technology and Management 1996, 23(4), 219-225  (Eng.)
The author addresses the issue of improving the economics of  recycling from 
the curb to a materials recovery facility (MRF). The  shortcomings of 
recycling technology are examined and  suggestions are made to reduce recyclable 
materials collection costs. They include: adoption of the "wet/dry" system to 
separate organic  garbage and inorganic recyclables; design and standardization of 
an automated  collection vehicle that can separate light and heavy recyclable 
materials; a  single discharge point for the automated collection vehicle to 
the MRF; and  conveyor systems to route loads deposited into different process 
trains. The  article also discusses the design aspects of mechanical 
integration of the MRF  with the automated collection vehicles. 
Public Perception of Strategies for Increasing  Participation in Recycling 
Programs

The Journal  of Environmental Education 1996, 27(4), 19-22 (Eng.)
The  question of how to increase public participation in recycling programs 
to  reduce economic and environmental costs of municipal solid waste  is 
addressed. A random survey conducted in Jersey City, New Jersey, asked  households 
what would induce full participation of the residents in the  community. 
Questions included: reasons for not recycling, channels of awareness  for recycling 
programs, potential sites for recycling containers, and changes  that may 
increase recycling participation. The survey indicated that public  information 
campaigns emphasizing the advantages of recycling ranked first among  the top 
four changes needed to stimulate participation.
