We are preparing a survey to get input on the effectiveness of "What goes in the Bin" E&O rolled out in a pilot before sending educational materials out to the larger community. This is part of a larger project but this one question is givin us pause and we are looking for some good examples of how to ask "Were you surprised to learn that these items go in/don't go in the blue bin?" that meets CBSM-criteria. (For instance, we suspect more people know what goes IN not what should NOT go in but wonder if providing a list of "what does not go in" could have unintended consequences--like those that Doug brought up in the workshop of actually increasing the unwanted behavior). Thoughts? Examples?

Hi Jill, I have consulted with some experts who agree that focusing only on what goes in the bin would be best and least confusing. However, if you are experiencing a consistent problem where people are contaminating the bin with one item (e.g. plastic bags in the recycling bin) then you could make an exception and call that out. I hope this helps.
