联合王国的地方当局目前正在改变其回收方法，以达到立法目标。这一驱动器的一个重要组成部分是提供有效的路边回收服务，了解影响所提供系统性能的参数至关重要。在这篇文章中，三个主要的数据集，收集了超过1400个家庭，检查相关的参与率的参数。两个测量参数，发现不常见的路边回收计划在以前的研究中确定，他们值得进一步调查的有用工具，规划的目的。一个是收集的材料种类的数量;收集更多材料的计划的参与率更高。第二是位于同一条道路上的家庭数量;数量越少，参与率越高。在这两种情况下，测量的相关性的证据，证明其有用的规划。造成相关性的多个潜在因素在这里没有确定，但建议进一步研究。
Local authorities in the United Kingdom are currently changing their approach towards recycling as they attempt to meet legislative targets. An important part of this drive is the provision of an effective curbside recycling service and it is vital to understand the parameters that influence the performance of the system offered. In this article, three primary datasets, collected from over 1400 households each, are examined for parameters correlated to participation rates. Two measured parameters were found that are not commonly identified in previous studies of curbside recycling schemes, and they are shown to merit further investigation as useful tools for planning purposes. One is the number of types of material collected; participation rates are greater for schemes collecting more materials. The second is the number of households situated on the same road; the lower the number, the higher the participation rate. In both cases, evidence of the measured correlation is presented, justifying their usefulness for planning. The multiple underlying factors causing the correlations are not identified here, but suggestions are made for further studies.
