Boosting Separate Collection of Dry Recyclables With Door-to-Door Bio-Waste Collection in EU Capitals

The MLR models were built using R programming language while controlling for six waste management system related variables (PAYT system, glass bring points, metal bring points, door-to-door paper collection, door-to-door plastic collection and number of other collection systems) as well as seven additional control variables: two urban indicators (population and population density), two economic indicators (GDP per capita, material and social deprivation ratio) and three political indicators (the ratio of environmentally aware citizens, governing party’s position on the environment and level of trust in local government).

The dataset is assembled of data from various sources which are referenced in the excel file with extended data. The R code and R data file are also provided.
