Abstract
Logit analysis of New Hampshire survey data indicates “NIMBY” (not in my backyard) beliefs over solid waste management facilities is primarily motivated by concerns for children's health. Respondents willing to host a local recycling center or viewing recycling as a short-lived phenomenon are less likely to exhibit NIMBY attitudes. Results indicate NIMBYs are not a homogeneous group.Keywords
