Abstract
The recyclable material recycling program organized and operated by a small town in northern Taiwan is investigated. Emphasis of the present study is placed on the operation, analysis of the annual amounts of r ecyclable material collection and on the operational cost-benefit anal ysis of the recycling program. Examination of the operational data rev eals that the recycling program is in good financial shape considering the income from sale of recyclable materials and the benefits derived from waste reduction.
