Re: Effective Curbside Recycling Programs
2012-06-06 15:12:28 UTC
The City of Raleigh in North Carolina has used focus groups to identify barriers and benefits to recycling among our business customers. We also used incentives to increase curbside recycling participation among our residential customers. Email me if you want more details.

Re: Recycling in Public Parks
2011-11-29 12:18:48 UTC
The City of Raleigh (North Carolina) is embarking upon a similar project to improve recycling in its parks. The Solid Waste Services Department has provided outdoor containers and weekly collection for almost ten years. That program was successful, but didn't engage the employees. A training specialist in the Parks and Recreation Department wrote a grant to buy indoor containers and involve employees in increasing waste diversion. For specifics, email [email protected].

Re: Reducing Recyclables being Placed in Plastic Bags
2010-05-10 13:17:30 UTC
Plastic bags are a problem in our curbside program here in Raleigh, North Carolina. For years we have asked our collection crews to note this problem on a tag that can be left in the bin. This has not been effective. Next month we are beginning a transition from using 18-gallon bins to 95-gallon carts. The cart lids will be imprinted with photos of acceptable items. Our customers will also receive a magnet with identical photos plus a "No Plastic Bags" message. It's too soon to predict whether it will work, but I'd be glad to share our results in about six months.
