  4. Recycle Bin Mapping: Outdoors

  5. Mapping Results • Some areas had an excess of bins, others had a shortage • Placement often seemed odd. • In order for recycling to be effective bins need to be redistributed in a more systematic manner.

  6. Methods of Monitoring • Selected the following locations of recycling bins on campus: • Maybank: steel bins located inside between the 2 front doors • Stern Center: 1st floor blue bins located to left of the front desk • Library: 1st floor blue bins on the right side of the main circulation desk • Outside: • Black containers behind the Library • Black containers in front of Maybank in Cougar Mall • Containers behind City Bistro (can/aluminum&glass/plastic) • We agreed upon a scale in order to note the bins according to their fullness (empty, ¼, ½, ¾, full) • Each member was to sign up for 15 time slots (Morning, Afternoon, Evening) over the course of 7 days to record recycling data in these areas • Recorded our data online (to avoid using paper, of course!) through spreadsheets on Google Docs.

  7. Monitoring Results • Recording different bins • Not all of them are measured at the same times • Some were not covered • Usually, recycling bins were at least 25% full but the waste bins were almost always more full
