Most human activities create waste, and the way this waste is
handled, stored, collected and disposed of can pose risks to the environment
and to public health (Zhu et al.. 2008). With the increase
of business activities as well as rapid urbanization, the generation
of waste has also increased. Improper management of this
waste has led to various hazards not only for human beings but
also for the whole ecosystem. Recycling has been at the forefront
of successfully managing the problem related to waste. It is one of
the processes that is used in Integrated Solid Waste Management
(ISWM) along with reduce and reuse (Memon, 2010). Much of the
progress in the concept of recycling happened in the 1990s and
this is called the decade of recycling in America. The remarkable
increase in the recycling rate rose from 9% in 1989 to 28% in 1996
indicating robust popular support and suggests that this form of
civic environmentalism has entered the mainstream of behavioral
norms in America (Goldstein, 1997).
