This study used a questionnaire that sought to help researchers understand how to improve recycling and the general attitudes towards recycling at a university. Recycling was generally well supported, and there were overall positive attitudes towards recycling. Furthermore, students and staff both reported that they recycled.

​

Results:

• The study suggests that the university should put more signs in places that will prompt people to recycle.
• It is shown that it is important to provide information to people about where people’s recyclables were going in order to increase recycling behavior.
• Convenience is also an important factor. Recycling bins were placed in more locations that people would be likely to recycle.
