| Abstract: | A logit model of public opposition to solid-waste facility siting is constructed. Data are collected from in-person surveys regarding attitudes toward four different types of facilities - waste-to-energy plants, recycling centers, transfer stations and ash landfills. The model quantifies the inverse relationship between distance and opposition to siting, a finding that would be expected under a self-interest model of attitudes. However, the data also indicate a significant percentage of respondents who oppose siting over the range of distances studied, up to 50 miles. |
