Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Literature Review
3. Methods

- -
- volume of municipal waste (kg/inhabitant or household);
- -
- volume of separated waste (kg/inhabitant or household);
- -
- measure of waste recycling (%);
- -
- measure of storage (%).
- Indicators of regions development:
- -
- regional gross domestic product per inhabitant (Euro);
- -
- net incomes of households (Euro);
- -
- average liquidation of equivalent incomes of households (Euro/month);
- -
