Tackling Litter & Recycling Contamination
STEPS TO INFLUENCE BEHAVIOR IN PARKS & OUTDOOR PUBLIC SPACES
Original air date: February 15th, 2022 at 1:00pm EDT
Description:
It seems easy enough to toss recycling and trash items into the correct bin. And yet, anyone involved with waste collection knows it’s rarely that simple. People tossing items in the wrong bin – or on the ground – is a perennial challenge that facility managers have struggled with for years. While there are no silver bullets, behavioral research and hard-earned experience can point to solutions.
This program featured experts sharing local case studies as well as research-based best practices for designing collection bins & signage, planning bin placement patterns, and other steps to positively influence how people discard waste in outdoor settings. Our webinar also included a new, sample case study examination of a current location’s recycling & waste program with panelists providing real-world tips and problem-solving advice & strategies.
