Abstract
Using Kazanowski's standardized cost-effectiveness methodology, alternative systems are compared for effectively disposing 4 to 5 lb of municipal refuse per person per day in urban communities of the United States. The criteria for studying this problem are often limited to cost or marketable measures; in contrast, use of a cost-effectiveness approach allows the inclusion of nonquantifiable measures of effectiveness such as public acceptance, political factors, health risks, environmental constraints, soil benefits, and potential ground-water pollution. Data from a case study in Tucson, Arizona, are used to illustrate the problem and methodology.
