Abstract

This research classifies the logistics used by consumers when recycling their household waste. Through an analysis of 20 waste recyclers, we identify three types of logistics depending on the characteristics of the recycling context and the desired relationship to waste: stockpiling, just-in-time and pooling. Contributing to the field of consumer logistics, our research shows that for the consumer recycling is not just a question of motivation and context, but also of logistics.
