Landfills take up urban space and swallow material. I wish to put a price on this in order to support recycling initiatives with economic arguments.
Hi!
Well the group I belongs too (the Environmental Science and Engineering Group) at Linnaeus University have had a lot of work about the economic aspects of landfills and landfilling.
Best Regards
Yahya
There is a 2007 hedonic paper on landfills:
"Does size really matter? Landfill scale impacts on property values" Applied Economics Letters" Jong Seok Lim and Paul Missios
Dear Patrick, how can I get access to this paper?
Dear Yahya, did you publish anything I could read?
Thanks.

Thank you Patrick.
I would like to know exactly how much space landfills take up, now and historically. Do you have numbers for urban areas?
