Abstract:

While many studies have investigated the relationship between various demographic variables and

recycling behavior, the definition of recycling behavior used has frequently limited the depth of information

gained. This study tests a methodology using the actual percentage of recyclable material recycled, and

relating this measure of recycling behavior to demographic variables using a multiple regression analysis.

This study also looks at the differential effects of demographic variables on different recyclable materials.

Results show that the methodology seems to be acceptable, and that demographics in this sample appear to

have different effects on different materials.
