My work includes creating programs to improve our waste management and recycling systems around our property. I am interested in learning more about communicating with different audiences and influencing behavior change, as well as making a business case for sustainable behaviors.
Using Signage to Reduce Contamination in Aluminum Recycling Bins
2024-02-20 16:52:48 UTC
Hi All,
I recently procured aluminum recycling bins for my company with grey magnets saying "EMPTY ALUMINUM ONLY" with photos of a soda can, aluminum water bottle, and aluminum cup. These bins sit next to trash bins with black magnets saying "LANDFILL." Unfortunately, I am noticing a lot of contamination in the aluminum bin. I would be interested in hearing suggestions about how to reduce contamination - clearly, the signage is not enough. Perhaps moving these bins away from the trash bins would work? I am interested in learning what has worked for all of you. Thanks!

Hello! I am interested in learning more about successful food recovery and donation programs in vacation communities, particularly in mountain towns.

If anyone has any resources, I would love to hear about them. Thank you!
Surveys on Recycling Knowledge
2024-01-10 18:09:18 UTC
Hi all!
I'd like to distribute surveys to employees at my organization to gauge their current level of recycling knowledge and what the barriers are to recycling properly. I work for a large resort and there are many different audiences, including Housekeeping, Food & Beverage, and Property Management staff. If anyone could provide ideas for questions, how to keep the surveys simple and concise, and how to communicate amongst different audiences, I would greatly appreciate it.
