Background
In 2002 Cardiff County Council commissioned the BRASS Centre to undertake research into the waste management and purchasing practices of householders involved in a new kerbside recycling scheme in Cardiff, a city of over 300,000 residents. The research compared and anaylsed householders' opinions of the scheme, as well as exploring their attitudes towards recycling, waste minimisation and waste in general.
Over 9,000 questionnaires were sent to Cardiff households (with a 30% response rate) and nearly 40 follow-up interviews conducted.
