“…Families and residents are important members of the community, and there are many types of hazardous waste generated by households, including toxic e-waste, medical waste, and other wastes that can harm the environment and human health. Based on this, many scholars have investigated and studied the family and residents' participation in household hazardous waste collection and recycling, and concluded and made targeted recommendations (Slack et al, 2009;Elston, 2010;Wagner et al, 2013;Inglezakis & Moustakas, 2015;Lim-Wavde et al, 2016;Lim-Wavde et al, 2017;Ndayizigamiye et al, 2017).…”

The reverse logistics of municipal hazardous waste (RLMHW) have received close attention from researchers and practitioners alike, given the essential impact of safe transportation and effective management of hazardous waste on public health and environmental sustainability. There are a great number of studies in the extant literature on RLMHW, with many and diverse research topics; however, a concise and complete overview of the research works already conducted in this particular area is conspicuous by its absence. This paper strives to fill the gap through the conduct of rigorous systematic literature review of RLMHW in the past three decades, and then establish a framework of studies on RLMHW. The main contributions of this study are as follows: (1) to identify the trend of journals publishing research papers on RLMHW; (2) to extract the main topics in studies on RLMHW; (3) to locate the most popular research areas of RLMHW; (4) to summarize the methods adopted in studies on RLMHW; (5) to identify research deficiencies in certain categories of RLMHW; and (6) to establish the future research directions of RLMHW. The main implications of the study are to offer a better understanding of RLMHW by systematic crystallization of archival data in a systematic chronological order across central issues. This study contributes to scholarly debate in this field by serving as a snapshot paper to document the development of the field and gives input to policymakers in process design and policy making in the domain of RLMHW.
