How often do you recycle ?

doing a behavioral study in my school. I am studying behavioral actions
of people associated with recycling. The goal is to develope a possible
solution and implement it and see if it will work. If you are interested in helping me please fill out the short survey it will only take like 60 second. No personal info necessary. This would help me greatly

 

I got told off once for putting non recyclable things in recycling with this speech "someone has to sort through that" and I said "good, they can thank me for their weekly pay cheque" =]

Keeping folks employed is what I'm all about. >.>

 

We save all of out plastic bottles and cans and recycle them in the new bin our apartments have. And we did this even before the bin. It's really important to me so everyone participates in my house hold.

So constantly I suppose.

 

amen.. :2thumbsup:

 

Hey, in which setting are you trying to increase recycling? Home? Office? Public places?

Here is a behavioral study about recycling in an office building, it seemed to be effective, but could be improved upon or generalized to other settings:

Actually, I started recycling and then I stopped because my trash pick up company got me hooked by picking it up for free and then switched to charging extra to pick up recycling.

The recycling center at the county landfill is a long way from me and the hours are so inconvenient that it was really difficult for me to get there.

Recycling was costing too much. I'm on a very limited income.
True story.

 

After moving into my house I've realised there's always heaps of stuff to throw out. Well it's been 4 weeks and we are slowly getting rid of it. We aren't going to pay anyone to remove it or dump it, going to go the old cheap way. =p

 

bury it in the backyard?..or burn it in a barrel?

 

welcome to hipforums.

 

i recycle glass, plastic and paper at home because there are bins for it, it's easy to do. i used to be more meticulous about it, but now if a jar is real hard to clean like a PB jar...i just throw it out.

i recycle paper at my work as well. but i feel like it will never make a difference, because businesses, restaurants and stuff like that are wear all the garbage comes from.

i try to do my part in being "green," but i know it doesn't matter individually. but a lot of things don't.
many people doing the same thing can though.

you didn't link us to a survey. or maybe you did and it got removed because you are kind of spamming?

 

There never was a poll.

I moved it from introductions to here since people seem to want to talk about it.

Carry on.

 

i took back beer bottles (here we pay a 5 cent deposit on soda/beer cans/bottles) the other day and got $12.65!

 

Recycling is a pollutive manufacturing process for most materials. Especially paper.

 

Where is your survey?

 

Would you fill out this one? Online Survey: Website Feedback

 

I recycle almost everything.

 

My small idea may have the ability to change the world.
