Editorial Reviews
Review
A great read for anyone inside or outside academia wondering what to do with that empty pop can. -- Randy Stoecker, Contemporary Science
The next time you finish that can of pop, you might want to just chuck the empty in the street. This is not the conclusion, but it is the implication, of Urban Recycling. . . . [T]his book is a great read for anyone inside or outside academia wondering what to do with that empty pop can. -- Review
[It] has important implications for social, community, and environmental advocates, and for students of contemporary urban life. -- Choice
Review
[This] important book ostensibly concerns urban recycling, but it actually treats the paradox of sustainable community development in the age of global capitalism . . . [It] has important implications for social, community, and environmental advocates, and for students of contemporary urban life.
(Choice )
Urban Recycling makes a refreshing change from the usual waste-management books with their worthy but often dull descriptions of the waste hierarchy and bottle banks. . . . This text, an analysis of United States community recycling programmes, has a different approach, with emphasis on community rather than recycling.
(Jane Powell Times Higher Education Supplement )
A sophisticated examination of recycling. . . . Urban Recycling presents readers with a holisitic study that will illuminate the history of recycling while examining the problems of achieving sustainability within a profit-driven economic system.
