Methods of Bin Mapping: Indoors
Slide 4
Recycle Bin Mapping: Outdoors
Slide 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.

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.
Slide 8
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
