Different types of waste collection systems exist and the influence of each system on waste recovery differs. In order to sustainably recover resources from waste, it is cardinal to understand the different types of waste collection systems. In developed economies, different waste collection systems have been implemented to suit their context. As the developed economies pursue to recover resources from waste, it is vital that the influence of each collection system is understood. An extensive literature review was conducted on four different types of waste collection systems. Focus was paid on how each system has influenced resource recovery from the household perspective. The findings of the results are important to the waste management sector and manufacturing companies in the implementation of resource recovery systems and awareness programs.
