Re: Effective Signage for Waste Diversion

One more thing to consider - if you use plastic bags/liner in your bins is to color coordinate those as well. It helps with the logistics to make sure the right bag goes to the right place (makes it easier for janitorial staff). We use blue or green for recycling/single stream, black or grey for trash, and clear/biodegradable for compost.

Re: Increasing Recycling Rates at Institutions (hospitals, colleges)
2011-08-10 09:21:10 UTC
I think I should rephrase my question. I am looking for CBSM techniques to get more people to recycle in hospital and college environments. We are thinking of holding a competition with a thermometer graphic to reach a goal. We know we need good international signage and colors of bins. In reading the thread on recycling in high schools it looks like a monitor is important for some period of time. Any other advice? Does anyone have lessons learned from other hospital or college settings? Thanks! Jan

Increasing Recycling Rates at Institutions (hospitals, colleges)

Institutions I work with are changing to single stream recycling (glass, cans, plastic and paper) from dual stream. They have the logistics covered. I am looking for best practices in behavior change campaigns to shift the norm in an institutional environment. Thank you for any advice you may have.
