The study used fixed-effects models with district-level panel data regarding waste and recycling from July 2007 to December 2011, and demonstrated that the program was related to a significant 40% reduction in monthly per capita waste and a 15% increase in recycling. City-level data from 2000 to 2017 prove that the waste reduction did not rebound in the long term. Because the results were robust under different model specifications and indicated no adverse effects, the paper provides evidence to support arguments that this type of program can effectively reduce waste in high-population-density municipalities. |
