| Abstract: | This paper analyzes waste disposal, recycling and composting in a municipality in south-west Sweden. In 1994, Vaberg introduced a weight-based billing system for household waste charging 1kr/kg of waste and at the same time recycling centers were set up and a "green shopping" campaign was launched. This led to a significant reduction in waste collected and increased recycling. This study had access to actual measured data on waste disposal at the household level for a residential area called Tvaaker. |
