Reviews
[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. -- Brett Clark Organization and Development The next time you finish that can of pop, you might want to just chuck the empty in the street.

[T]his book is a great read for anyone inside or outside academia wondering what to do with that empty pop can. -- Randy Stoecker Contemporary Science
