| Abstract: | Pricing trash collection and disposal services can be politically unpopular and may lead to increased illegal disposal of trash. Several studies have shown that deposit-refund systems can act like disposal charges without the illegal disposal problem and thus can generate an optimal amount of solid waste disposal. The authors assess the efficiency implications of an alternative policy currently in use in some states in the U.S. and considered at the federal level, recycled content standards. |
