Abstract
This paper reports information from Massachusetts on attitudes of householders toward alternative approaches and economic solutions to household hazardous waste (HHW) generation and disposal. Residents appear to be aware of the nature of the HHW problem and clearly support action to address the problem. The majority support a law fining householders for the improper disposal of HHW, endorse paying a sales tax on domestic hazardous products to finance safe disposal, and appear willing to drive up to five miles to dispose of HHW twice yearly.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
