A 1989 survey compares the conceptual and technical approaches to the collection of municipal solid waste, secondary materials and household hazardous wastes in eight major European cities. The collection systems reflect local structural conditions as well as the different political tasks of municipal waste management. The traditional focus on collection and treatment has been enlarged by separate collection and public education, and economic considerations are of increasing importance.

Key Words: Urban waste management • municipal solid waste • household hazardous waste • secondary materials • waste collection • waste composition • waste collection fees • collection costs • treatment costs • Europe.
