The Market for Garbage: Economy and Household Waste Management by Gérard Bertolini Synopsis Garbage is unloved, and without economic value waste is a product outside of the market. However, may it be different today? What values and issues hide behind its apparent insignificance? In the absence of value or a utopian obliteration, the history of garbage and channels associated with it is that of a wandering, in search of a space for waste. The obvious environmental problem that results for many businesses raises major commercial issues. How do they cope? Through this book, you will follow the trail of garbage through history and current affairs, through domestic trash and the wider European market.

Review 1 I read this book with difficulty as I found the style difficult to understand. However, it did make me look at garbage and the whole issue of waste management in a different light. (Posted by Blitzkrieg)

Review 2 I read a lot of books on waste management as I deal with these things on a daily basis. I agree with Blitzkrieg that though this book was hard going in places, it did make me look at waste management in a different light. (Posted by Skip Hire)
