More Americans recycle than vote. And most do so to improve their communities and the environment. But do recycling programs advance social, economic, and environmental goals? To answer this, three sociologists with expertise in urban and environmental planning have conducted the first major study of urban recycling. They compare four types of programs in the Chicago metropolitan area: a community-based drop-off center, a municipal curbside program, a recycling industrial park, and a linkage program. Their conclusion, admirably elaborated, is that recycling can realize sustainable community development, but that current programs achieve few benefits for the communities in which they are located. The authors discover that the history of recycling mirrors many other urban reforms. What began in the 1960s as a sustainable community enterprise has become a commodity-based, profit-driven industry. Large private firms, using public dollars, have chased out smaller nonprofit and family-owned efforts. Perhaps most troubling is that this process was not born of economic necessity. Rather, as the authors show, socially oriented programs are actually more viable than profit-focused systems. This finding raises unsettling questions about the prospects for any sort of sustainable local development in the globalizing economy. Based on a decade of research, this is the first book to fully explore the range of impacts that recycling generates in our communities. It presents recycling as a tantalizing case study of the promises and pitfalls of community development. It also serves as a rich account of how the state and private interests linked to the global economy alter the terrain of local neighborhoods.

In many communities, garbage disposal--solid waste management--is the third largest municipal expenditure and a fast growing budget item. Many small local governments have controlled the growth of these costs by recycling up to 40% of the total solid waste they produce. This guidebook can help communities identify and develop opportunities available through recycling. Chapters cover: (1) recycling as part of an overall community strategy to deal with limited landfill space, rising disposal costs, stricter federal and state regulations, and environmental problems; (2) information gathering and problem assessment to locate the right solutions to solid waste problems; (3) locating buyers and creating a market for recycled materials; (4) making decisions in the design of a recycling program; and (5) educating the public through media coverage, flyers, school programs, and other approaches that encourage household and business participation. Appendices include state government recycling agencies; state recycling associations; a selected bibliography of 24 books, reports, journals, school curricula, and EPA publications; and an outline of financing options.

This report is in two parts: a concise state-of-the-art overview of recycling from municipal refuse, focusing on techniques and conditions germane to developing countries; and an annotated bibliography with abstracts of more than 200 published references on recycling. It was prepared as part of a global research, development and demonstration effort of the United Nations Development Programme and the World Bank. Recycling is used in its broadest sense, encompassing the full range of resource recovery and reuse techniques, including repair, remanufacture, materials recovery and energy conversion of refuse materials, broken machine parts, and discarded consumer products. The philosophy behind the report is that some of the value added from production activities, such as agriculture, mining and manufacture, is retained when a "waste" is recycled. Thus, through recycling, more sustainable economies, for countries and cities, are achievable. The state-of-the-art overview contains numerous case examples of recycling efforts throughout the world. It provides insight into the informal network of relationships and incentives that affect recyling.
