Introduction

Methods of Bin Mapping: Indoors

Recycle Bin Mapping: Outdoors

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.

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, , , , 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.

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
