本文介绍了美国发展最快的城市之一德克萨斯州休斯顿的固体废物设施选址数据。调查结果显示，固体废物的地点并不是随机分散在休斯顿的景观，但很可能被发现在主要是黑人社区和附近的黑人学校。住房市场的制度化歧视，缺乏分区，以及过去50年来政府官员的决定是导致休斯顿黑人社区成为该地区固体废物“倾倒场”的主要因素。
This paper presents data on the siting of solid waste facilities in one of the nation's fastest growing cities, Houston, Texas. The findings reveal that solid waste sites were not randomly scattered over the Houston landscape but were likely to be found in predominantly black neighborhoods and near black schools. Institutionalized discrimination in the housing market, lack of zoning, and decisions by public officials over the past fifty years are major factors that have contributed to Houston's black neighborhoods becoming the “dumping ground” for the area's solid waste.
