The A. critically reviews important concepts in new geographies of waste. She focuses on both theconceptual frameworks that are used to examine issues concerning waste and the political possibilitiesproduced by understanding waste differently
. By plotting a range of concepts of waste and dualist concepts of waste and society, she contextualizes scholarship on waste within the broader discussion about the ‘rematerialization’ of geography and social science.

The paper explores the movements and placings that work to configure food as waste. Drawing on ethnographic examples, the A. explores the shifting contours and gradients that reduce the possibilities for disposing of food through conduits in which
The first countrywide register of illegal dump sites in Slovenia was created in 2010 and 2011. Due to its extensiveness it allows in-depth analyses of factors that affect illegal waste disposal. Prior research has already proven the impact of roads
