This paper focuses on the dynamics of recycling, using a rudi- mentary model emphasizing only those elements essential to the recycling problem.2 The problem of waste accumulation is viewed as the joint result of household and firm decisions to "litter," i.e., let waste degrade by natural biological and chemical processes, in- stead of recycling waste into production.
